After getting back in the win column with an emphatic 4-1 victory over Angel City FC, OL Reign resumed their NWSL Challenge Cup campaign with a midweek trip down to San Diego and take on San Diego Wave FC. This marked OL Reign’s first time playing at Snapdragon Stadium, and much like last Saturday’s performance, OL Reign scored multiple goals and showed their quality over their Californian opponent.
Defender Ryanne Brown claimed her first professional goal in the 29th minute. Olivia Athens opened her 2023 goal account in the 54th minute, and Jordyn Huitema claimed her second goal in the Challenge Cup campaign on the evening to round things out.
