Reign FC keep the good times rolling at Lumen Field. Keely Dunning and Laura Schott break down Sunday night's 1-0 win over San Diego Wave FC on Hello Kitty Night, from Maddie Mercado's 29th-minute header off a Maddie Dahlien cross, her eighth goal of the season, to the bat-swing celebration that followed it.

The hosts run the playoff math with Reign FC sitting eighth on 34 points and five points separating fifth from eighth, and make the case that winning without playing your best is the mark of a maturing team.
