On Friday, September 9, OL Reign will host their second-to-last regular-season home match of the 2022 season. While it’s not a must-win match for the Reign as they fight for a playoff spot, the club will be going up against the Chicago Red Stars at Lumen Field, a team that sits just one point behind them on the ever-so-tight NWSL table. A win is crucial if the Reign want to give themselves a comfortable road into the playoffs.
Ask any player what they love most about the NWSL and they’ll likely tell you how much they enjoy the tight competition.
