Megan Rapinoe prepares for OL Reign sendoff amid NWSL playoff chase: ‘These are big, important games for us’

Date:

TUKWILA, WA– It was another rainy Monday at the Starfire Sports Complex, but that didn’t stop OL Reign from getting in another competitive training session. After a relatively sunny morning in the Emerald City, the drizzle picked up just as the team currently sitting in the sixth and final spot in the National Women’s Soccer League took the field.  

OL Reign are coming off a 1-1 draw against the North Carolina Courage in their penultimate home match of 2023, and the second to last home game in the career of forward Megan Rapinoe. After 11 seasons with the Seattle club – and another six pro years before the NWSL’s inaugural season – the Redding, California native is calling it a career. 

Rapinoe was spared from the rain at training. She and the other players who competed in Sunday’s match remained inside to focus on recovery. For her part, Rapinoe played 90 minutes and collected an assist on Bethany Balcer’s first-half header in the 21st minute.
