It's Purple vs Volt in one of the more brightly colored matchups in NWSL league history.
Today the Seattle Reign kick off their first ever match against the expansion Orland Pride. The players took advantage of the trip to Orlando to enjoy the many (mostly Harry Potter-themed) amusements the region has to offer, but today is all business, as the team looks to move into a tie for second place in the standings with an away win.
The Reign continue to face life without their holding midfield dragon Jess Fishlock. Last week against Kansas City team MVP Kim Little put in a world-class shift at defensive midfield to cover for her and we'll likely expect the same today and until Fishlock returns or the team signs a replacement.
