On Saturday, Seattle Reign FC made the trip down I-5 for the first of three regular season matches against the Portland Thorns. It was also the first Lifetime Game of the Week for Seattle this year, and the team was apparently set on making it a memorable affair. In what could end up as the most entertaining match of the season, Reign FC came out victorious — winning 3-2 thanks to a second half that was full of wild, non-stop action and goal-line saves at both ends.
The win puts Seattle into second place with two games in hand on the North Carolina Courage, who remain at the top of the league.
