OL Reign began a three-game road trip on Sunday afternoon with a visit to the Kansas City Current. Lo’eau LaBonta scored the lone goal of the game in the 18th minute off a penalty kick, which was won by Victoria Pickett on a foul by Reign defender Phoebe McClernon. Both sides had several golden opportunities to add more goals, but a combination of strong goalkeeping and questionable finishing meant the game ended 1-0 for the home side.
