One of Laura Harvey's tenets is everyone on the field plays defense. Apply constant pressure to whoever has the ball and win it back. Revisit the 2014 and 2015 Reign FC teams and be amazed at whenever Seattle gave up the ball, how quickly they got it back. Merritt Mathias has been with the Seattle Reign FC since 2015 and has grown into the player that Laura Harvey coveted when she first saw her in the 2014 season. It's one thing to talk about the Reign FC Originals who have trusted and flourished under Laura Harvey's process, but even those that joined the squad well after the inaugural season and are established NWSL veterans reach that status because they too have bought into Laura Harvey's process.
