It feels like an understatement at this point to say that OL Reign’s roster is overflowing with talent. The team is so stacked, head coach Laura Harvey was able to start a world-class midfield in September that didn’t include Jess Fishlock and Olympic Gold Medalist Quinn, who were both being rested for fixture congestion reasons.
After sitting in 9th place at the end of June, OL Reign turned things around and earned a home semifinal match for the playoffs — boasting the best record in the second half of the season. They even had a fighting chance to win the NWSL Shield two weeks ago.
