SEATTLE, WA— Seattle Reign FC today announced its 2018 National Women’s Soccer League home opener versus the Washington Spirit on Saturday, March 24th at 7:30pm PT on the UW Medicine Pitch at Memorial Stadium.

Seattle defeated Washington twice last season in their two regular season meetings, with the Reign scoring a season-high 6 goals in their first meeting. Their second meeting saw the Reign come back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 on a goal in the 90th minute from Jess Fishlock.

Washington will enter the 2018 season with a squad radically changed from the group that was minutes away from an overtime victory in the 2016 NWSL Championship Game. The new-look Spirit are a young and talented group who now feature four U.S. Women’s National Team Players, three of which were acquired prior to the 2018 season. Rose Lavelle, Mallory Pugh, Taylor Smith and Andi Sullivan – who was the first pick in the 2018 NWSL College Draft – have 53 National Team caps and 10 international goals between them. Washington also added Canadian international defender Rebecca Quinn, who was selected third overall in the 2018 NWSL College Draft out of Duke University. Quinn was a member of the bronze medal winning Canadian Olympic Team in 2016.
