It was a coming out party for the Reign's newest international player in front of a big crowd at the first match at Memorial in 2016.
In their final match of the preseason, the Seattle Reign hosted the Washington Huskies on a perfect, sunny evening at Memorial Stadium in front of 3,633 supporters. With Seattle's big stars away on international duty, it was new Dutch signing Manon Melis who took over the spotlight, scoring a brace and assisting a third goal in the 4-1 win.
There were a few lineup shifts to cover for the gaps left by Hope Solo, Jess Fishlock, Kim Little, and Rachel Corsie.
