SEATTLE —
An Angel City season that appeared to be over in June officially came to a close Friday, 11 days before Halloween, in a 1-0 NWSL quarterfinal playoff loss to the OL Reign on a chilly night on the banks of Puget Sound.
The game’s only goal came on a header from Veronica Latsko that deflected in off goalkeeper Angelina Anderson’s right hand with less than three minutes left in regulation. Angel City’s Paige Nielsen and M.A. Vignola appeared to have Phoebe McClernon’s long cross from the left wing defended well, but Latsko skied over both of them to nod home her fifth of the season.
