And awaaaaay we go.
5:49  Unexpected big news broken by Bill Predmore. BEEEEEEER! Reign FC have found a way around the Seattle School Board ban on alcohol. Georgetown Brewing will be providing beer in a beer garden just outside the stadium.

5:50 The Austen Everett Foundation and Water 1st will be returning as community partners. If you’ve been following the team, Teresa Predmore, Lu Barnes, and Elli Reed spent some time in the off-season in Ethiopia raising awareness on how severely the lack of access to clean water has an adverse impact in parts of the world – and how disproportionately this falls on youmg girls.

“Goals change games” is a favourite Laura Harvey adage, and the forwards on a team are often leaned upon to provide them. Last season, Bev Yanez moved into the central slot, and benefited from service from the wings coming from Merritt Matthias and Megan Rapinoe. Rapinoe is still rehabilitating an injury and isn’t in training […]

Training Time At Fortress Memorial

This will primarily be a photo gallery, just to take a look at faces both new and familiar. One thing was clear, though, watching practice this drizzly Monday: this is a team with a sense of unfinished business about it.

After warmups, practice was mainly two quarter-field games of five players and a goalkeeper aside, six minutes apiece with a minute between them. There were a pair of surprises this reporter can disclose: a guest appearance of Mama Steph Cox with little Kaylee, and the presence of Danielle Foxhoven as an active participant.
