Seattle Reign FC face Washington Spirit tonight in one of their most important matches of the season, and Megan Rapinoe will be getting her first start of the season for the match. Rapinoe replaces Naho Kawasumi, while the Reign lineup remains unchanged otherwise from their last match.

Rapinoe, who tore her ACL in December, made a miraculous recovery and was on the U.S. National Team roster for the Olympics, although she could only manage about 30 to 35 minutes in the limited playing time she saw.
