OL Reign (1-1-1) take on the Portland Thorns (0-1-2) to round out the group stage of play in the NWSL Challenge Cup. The Cascadia derby kicks off Monday, July 13, at 9:30 AM PT. The game will stream on CBS All Access for U.S. and Canadian viewers and will be available on Twitch for international fans.
While all eight teams advance to the knockout rounds, this game has plenty of implications when it comes to seeding heading into the quarterfinals. Reign can theoretically still finish anywhere from 2nd to 8th, and an 8th-place finish would have them facing off against the North Carolina Courage — that wouldn’t be my first choice.
