In their final game of 2017, Seattle Reign FC visited the Washington Spirit, looking to end the season on a positive note, give some depth players an opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities and help evaluate what the team has going forward into 2018. For the first hour it looked like Washington would emerge victorious thanks to a Mallory Pugh brace, but Seattle clawed their way back into the match, eventually winning 3-2 thanks to some late Jess Fishlock heroics, which is becoming a trend for final regular-season games with the Reign.
