With the 2018 NWSL season complete and the long off-season in full-swing, it’s time to look back on the season that was for Seattle Reign FC. Earlier this week we presented the fan-voted player awards, and today we’re going to look back on the top 10 moments of the season, in no particular order, as selected by the Ride of the Valkyries staff.
The 2017-18 off-season saw the biggest roster upheaval for Seattle since their first-ever off-season back in 2013-14, as well as a change at head coach for the first time in team history. Through trades, free agent signings, national team replacement signings, and an unexpected dispersal draft following the dissolution of the Boston Breakers, Seattle had 14 new players on their roster at first kick, and later signed two more with the mid-season additions of Alyssa Kleiner and Adriana Leon.
