The Reign roster gets cut from 25 players to 18 as we head into the final week of preseason.
The Reign roster took some big cuts today, as they pared down from a 25-player preseason roster to an 18-player roster heading into the final week before the season opener on Sunday. The most notable changes were the upgrades of Carson Pickett and Lindsay Elston from non-roster invitees to players under contract.
For Pickett this isn't much of a surprise. Seattle's first-round draft pick had some mixed moments in the last preseason match against UW, both getting in some dangerous offensive moments (including a long, curling cross to assist a Manon Melis goal) and some dangerous giveaways in Seattle's end.
