A heavily rotated OL Reign squad, which included just one starter from their opening match, was put under some pressure against Racing Louisville and lost 2-0 in their second match of the Portland preseason tournament.
Bethany Balcer, who went 45 minutes in the Reign’s opener against the U-23 USWNT, was the only returning starter to the Reign’s lineup. Goalkeeper Laurel Ivory got the start on Wednesday evening, while Veronica Latsko and Elyse Bennett started alongside Balcer in the front. Olivia Athens played an attacking midfield role, with Olivia Van der Jagt and Nikki Stanton behind her.
