The 2021 NWSL Challenge Cup wrapped up this weekend, with the Portland Thorns defeating NJ/NY Gotham FC on penalties. While OL Reign missed out on the championship title, the team earned seven points in four games and saw five different players score goals.
Now, the players have their eyes clearly set on the next phase: a 24-game regular season that kicks off this Saturday with a home match at Cheney Stadium. That match against the North Carolina Courage begins at 7 PM PT and will stream exclusively on Twitch.
