Reign FC and its semifinal opponent, the North Carolina Courage, look a lot different on paper heading into Sunday’s semifinal battle.
The Courage sit at the top of the league, setting yet another record for the most goals scored in a season (54). They’re entering their fourth straight semifinal appearance (playing one as the Western NY Flash before the team moved to North Carolina) and come into the game with plenty of healthy bodies. Reign FC, meanwhile, have put in half as many goals this season while dealing with a laundry list of injuries and a rotating cast of players.
