On Saturday evening, OL Reign got back on the winning track with a 2-1 home win against the Kansas City Current. Sofia Huerta scored and assisted Jordyn Huitema’s game-winning goal in front of more than 8,000 fans at Lumen Field.
The win moves the Reign to fourth on the NWSL table, just one point out of first. Meanwhile, Lauren Barnes appeared in her 200th NWSL match, becoming the first player in the league to reach that milestone — and all with the same club. Congrats to the legend.
With Rose Lavelle and Jess Fishlock still out, and Angelina on the bench for the first time this year after an ACL tear, the midfield was once again shaken up on Saturday — with Huitema starting in the central attacking midfield role.
