Finally the season is here! Seattle Reign FC opened the 2017 season, hosting Sky Blue FC, and traded penalty kick goals to a 1-1 draw. The penalties were converted by Megan Rapinoe for Seattle and Sarah Killion for Sky Blue.
The first half, Sky Blue had all the chances on Seattle. They should have punished Seattle but the shots didn't have final bit of bite and/or luck that tend to beat keepers. Also Haley Kopmeyer was on point with her saves and corral of the ball. It was reminiscent of the game she had a couple of years ago when she was on loan at Brisbane Roar against Melbourne City in a playoff semi-final.
