Reign coach calls Flash field a ‘farce’

The Seattle Reign FC players (along with their peers in the league) have had their say. Now head coach/general manager Laura Harvey has presented her comments about the modified field at Frontier Field in Rochester, New York today. Reign FC played Western New York Flash to a 3-2 loss.

This is a follow up to her initial post-match comments made to Jeff DiVeronica’s Democrat & Chronicle, where she criticized the officiating crew for reversing their decision and awarding Western New York Flash a goal where goalkeeper Haley Kopmeyer injured her ankle. Regarding the treatment of Kopmeyer’s injury, Harvey said post-match that Western New York Flash refused to take Kopmeyer to the hospital as part of her criticism (calling it a “disgrace”) of how long it took for medical assistance to tend to Kopmeyer.
