OL Reign’s debut in the NWSL Fall Series will finally happen this Saturday. Their first match was to be against rival Portland Thorns in Portland on Saturday, September 12. But that game was rescheduled twice due to an unprecedented body of smoke from wildfires in Oregon and California basically shutting down the Pacific Northwest region for the past week. The match with Portland at Providence Park will now take place on September 30, but before that, OL Reign will take a quick weekend trip down to Utah to face the Utah Royals FC.
Defender Madison Hammond was one of the few players who didn’t see the field at the NWSL Challenge Cup.
