Since the 2014 season, the Seattle Reign FC have called Memorial Stadium home and to say the hard, fast, and narrow field plays to their advantage is an understatement. Fortress Memorial, indeed it is, as Seattle has only lost two games at home. Tonight, the North Carolina Courage, defending NWSL Champions, became the third team to claim a victory at Memorial Stadium.
North Carolina's goals came from U.S. international Sam Mewis with the first in the 24th minute — a rocket volley that went middle-right and no goalkeeper on the planet would have been able to save, let alone touch.
