For the third match in a row, Seattle Reign FC played in dubious conditions, this time welcoming the Houston Dash to Memorial Stadium to finish out their season series in unpleasantly smoky conditions. The game was once again punctuated by two hydration breaks each half, meaning that the coaches could strategize in 15-minute increments and adjust their game plan based on the current state. Seattle had by far the better of the opportunities in the first half, with a 7-1 advantage in shots, but was unable to find that final bit of skill to beat Dash goalkeeper Jane Campbell until a pair of Jodie Taylor goals four minutes apart settled the game, which Seattle won 2-0 to secure a spot in the NWSL playoffs.
