Seattle Reign settle for draw against North Carolina
Once again facing less-than-ideal weather conditions — with the league mandating water breaks every 15 minutes due to the air quality — Seattle Reign FC hosted its last regular-season home match of the season. Facing off against the top-ranked North Carolina Courage, a team that has lost just one match this season, Seattle played to a 1-1 draw.
Theresa Nielsen scored the first goal of her NWSL career with a header in the 67th minute, but Seattle’s shutout streak came to an end on a Lynn Williams stoppage-time equalizer that salvaged a point for North Carolina.
