Already guaranteed to play in the playoffs, OL Reign has done even better. Thanks to the victory over Orlando (3-0) and the draw in Portland, the Seattle franchise offered the honorary title of regular season champion.
A perfect evening from all points of view! In the night from Saturday to Sunday, theOL United played his last game of the regular season, all in front of the home crowd. Fans who came to applaud last week’s play-off qualification got their money. Front OrlandoMegan’s teammates Rapinoe completed their exercise with an eleventh victory in 22 games (3-0). A great success that materializes in the first thirty minutes with the first goal from Rapinoe (8 °) followed by the half-time goal of Huitema (24th) and the last of Balcer (31e).
Only, this latest success not only secured a direct spot for the NWSL play-off semifinals.

The appointment is now set at the end of October for the play-off semifinals and why not a first championship.
