The playoffs are upon us. Portland takes on the Seattle Reign for the last time in 2018, to determine who goes on to the NWSL Championship next Saturday. The winner of this game will face the winner of North Carolina/Chicago, also to take place at Providence on Tuesday night. Besides being a semifinal, this is a rematch of last week’s game; it’s also the first time these Cascadia rivals have met in the playoffs. In short, it promises to be a wild ride.
The Reign have Megan Rapinoe and Allie Long listed as questionable. For the Thorns, Hayley Raso and Katherine Reynolds are out.
