When the Seattle Reign finished 13th in the NWSL in 2024 after losing club legend Megan Rapinoe to retirement, many assumed it was the beginning of a long rebuilding process. With young talent like Maddie Dahlien, Emeri Adames, Sally Menti, Sam Meza, Jordyn Bugg, Ainsley McCammon and others, it seemed like Seattle had a path toward relevance in a few years.

With 2025’s Decision Day looming on Sunday, the Reign are in fourth place as they prepare to take on the third-place Orlando Pride in hopes of stealing their spot at the finish line.

Not bad.

A win would secure No. 3, but a draw or loss could drop Seattle as far as No. 7 in what will likely play out like an early postseason duel.
