This week’s Reign game was certainly entertaining for the fans, but we’ve seen dominant performances like this from the team in the past which have resulted in much closer scorelines. So, before getting into the individual ratings, I want to highlight the fact that the players maintained momentum even after the fantastic first two goals, when it’s all too easy to relax slightly—even subconsciously—and fall into the trap that makes 2-0 “the most dangerous lead.” Seattle did a good job maintaining high pressure, sharp passing, and resolute defense through much of the game, although they did finally let down their guard some in the final quarter of an hour, following the fifth goal.
A commanding all-around performance from the Reign means high marks across the board.
