Overview
- Seattle Reign won 2-1 at ONE Spokane Stadium, with first‑half goals from Maddie Mercado and Nérilia Mondésir before Louisville rookie Macy Blackburn scored in stoppage time.
- The victory moves Seattle to 3-1-0 and sets up one more Spokane home date next Saturday against Denver Summit FC.
- Seattle played on short rest after a 3-0 midweek win over the Kansas City Current, while Racing Louisville arrived with fresher legs after an eight‑day break.
- The club shifted home games to Spokane because Lumen Field is being reconfigured for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which has added travel and quick turnarounds.
- Head coach Laura Harvey said Jordyn Bugg and Shae Holmes are days from returning, and Maddie Dahlien sat out to recover from a minor knock during the short turnaround.
