The NWSL regular season is here for OL Reign, and their work was cut out for them, opening on the road against the defending NWSL Champion Washington Spirit. Goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce posted double-digit saves as the champs showed the league why they are exactly that. Goals from Ashley Sanchez and Ashley Hatch bested OL Reign on Sunday afternoon at Audi Field en route to a victory. Rose Lavelle claimed OL Reign’s lone goal in the 53rd minute.
WHAT WORKED: PHALLON TULLIS-JOYCE
OL Reign were fortunate to be down only one goal at halftime, thanks in large part to the efforts of Tullis-Joyce.
