Reign FC makes one change to the lineup from last week, with Nerilia Mondesir slotting in for Emeri Adames in the attack.
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 48 consecutive starts, the second-longest in club history behind Lauren Barnes (59).
Dickey is four saves away from becoming the 13th player in club history to reach 200 saves with one club.
Sofia Huerta wears the captain’s armband for the third time this season after being named co-captain alongside Jess Fishlock ahead of the 2026 campaign.
With today’s start, Huerta now has 96 starts in 99 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. Huerta is also now two games shy of reaching 200 regular season starts across her 12-year NWSL career.
Mia Fishel makes her second consecutive start and third of the season. The forward now has seven starts in 15 appearances since joining the club on July 10, 2025.
Ainsley McCammon and Sam Meza start together in midfield for the ninth time since 2024. Seattle is unbeaten in seven of those matches (3W, 4D).
Sam Meza enters this match as the league leader in tackles (35) and tackles won (21). In 2025, the midfielder finished the season leading the league in tackles (106) and second in tackles won (64).
Brittany Ratcliffe, who spent the previous two seasons with the Washington Spirit before signing with Seattle as a free agent on January 20, is available off the bench today.
