Reign Fall in Cascadia Rivalry Despite Two Thorns Ejections

PORTLAND, Ore. — It was about as eventful of a Cascadia Clash as you can have.

Friday night saw the Seattle Reign head down I-5 to take on their fierce NWSL rival in the Portland Thorns for their home opener — which pulled in over 21,000 fans in a record-setting and raucous atmosphere at Providence Park.

After two red cards and the return of one of the biggest stars in the sport to her home pitch in Sophia Wilson, Portland came out on top 2-0 by dropping their entire squad into the box and making Seattle beat them without transition chances.

Evidently, the Reign’s service wasn’t up to par as Seattle’s offense stalled without any chance to attack against a defense that wasn't set.

Reign Overcome Travel Mishap, Weather Delay in Opening Day Win

The Seattle Reign waited on the tarmac in SeaTac for a chance to fly to Orlando on Friday morning.

And they waited.

They waited for around six hours before taking off, as weather and other circumstances caused delays. The team, frustrated from a full day of travel, had to wait again in the recesses of Inter&Co Stadium at halftime of their Sunday season-opening game against the Pride as nearly three hours of lightning delays added a new fold to the cross-country trip.

After all that, the Reign played to a 2-1 win in their season-opener against a team they had played and lost to twice in a row to close last season.
