OL Reign vs. Washington Spirit II. 2 Spirit 2 Reign. Reign Spirit: Part Deux. Reign Spirit 2: Electric Boogaloo. Spirit v. Reign and the Chamber of Secrets. For the second time in three days the Washington Spirit will face OL Reign. This time it will be in the semifinal round of the 2022 NWSL Challenge Cup.
Though Reign are based in Seattle, they’ve been hanging out in D.C. for a while thanks to the unique (read: forehead-slappingly unfortunate) nature of NWSL scheduling. Reign finished above the Spirit, who slid into the semifinals via a wild card slot after Angel City FC defeated Portland Thorns in the final group stage game of the tournament.
