Cheney Stadium was the site once again for Reign FC as they had a Memorial Day match against the defending NWSL Champions, North Carolina Courage.
The match served as season debuts for Reign FC goalkeeper Casey Murphy and the long-awaited return of midfielder Jess Fishlock, fresh from her treble-winning loan spell at Olympique Lyonnais. The duo were part of a complete team effort as Reign FC defeated North Carolina Courage, 2-1.
It’s always a tall order when going up against the Courage, but Reign FC were more than ready, and it didn’t take long for them to open up the scoring.
