Starting XI: Reign FC at Houston Dash
Seattle Reign FC Head Coach Laura Harvey fields her seventh unique lineup of the 2026 season as Reign FC takes on the Houston Dash at Shell Energy Stadium. Fans can tune in to the match on Victory+ or FOX 13+ for kickoff at 5:00 p.m. PT.
Lineup Notes:
Harvey names a different starting XI for the seventh time this season, continuing to showcase the club’s depth. The club has 17 players on the active roster who have earned at least one start in 2026.
With an average age of 24.7, today’s lineup is the youngest starting XI of the season and ranks as the ninth-youngest regular season lineup in club history.
Reign FC makes four changes to the lineup from last week, with Emeri Adames, Maddie Dahlien, Mia Fishel and Ainsley McCammon entering the starting XI. Sally Menti, Nerilia Mondesir and Brittany Ratcliffe are available off the bench, while Jess Fishlock is unavailable due to a lower leg injury.
Six players have started every match this season: Claudia Dickey, Sam Meza and the entire backline of Phoebe McClernon, Madison Curry, Sofia Huerta and Emily Mason. Dickey extends her streak to 47 consecutive starts, the second-longest in club history behind Lauren Barnes (59).
Huerta wears the captain’s armband for the second time this season after being named co-captain alongside Fishlock ahead of the 2026 campaign.
With today’s start, Huerta now has 95 starts in 98 regular season appearances since getting traded to Seattle from Houston in 2020. The veteran defender is on pace to become the club’s sixth player to reach 100 regular season appearances. Last week, she broke a tie with Megan Rapinoe to rank fourth in club history in starts.
Mia Fishel makes her first start since Week 1 at Orlando on March 15. The forward earns her sixth NWSL regular season start and 14th appearance since joining the club on July 10, 2025.
Three of the club’s five Texas natives are in today’s starting XI: Emeri Adames (Dallas), Ainsley McCammon (Bedford) and Sam Meza (Dallas).
Ainsley McCammon and Sam Meza start together in midfield for the eighth time since 2024. Seattle is unbeaten in six of those matches (3W, 3D).
