While the season kicked off at a glacial speed for Seattle Reign FC — with just four matches over 42 days — the team has gotten off to a decent start, especially considering the fact the three of those four games have come on the road. As the club heads into another road battle against Portland Thorns FC on Saturday, they hold a respectable 2-1-1 record — good for fourth in the league with games in hand.
The matches have not always been easy, and in many ways Reign FC still looks to be coming into form, but the squad has demonstrated strong depth and defensive organization that felt like it was lacking for a large portion of last season.
