The Seattle Reign and Denver Summit played to a scoreless draw in Spokane, leaving the Reign with 10 points through five games this season.
Following an impressive start to their Spokane residency, where they netted five goals and allowed just one across their first two home matches, the Seattle Reign encountered a resilient Denver Summit squad. Seattle initiated the match with high intensity, firing off seven early shots. However, the team's attacking rhythm faded significantly after the 27th minute, resulting in a physical, scoreless stalemate.
As the match progressed into the second half, the Summit seized control of the tempo and applied heavy pressure on the hosts. Denver ultimately recorded 18 total shots. Despite the barrage, the Reign's defensive unit held firm. Goalkeeper Claudia Dickey was only forced to manage three shots on target. Defender Phoebe McClernon highlighted the backline's effectiveness in neutralizing Denver's most dangerous scoring opportunities.
Backed by a crowd of just under 4,000 supporters, Seattle found a late spark. The fans energized the Reign during the closing minutes, triggering a final offensive push that yielded several late, albeit unconverted, chances. The draw keeps the Reign steady in the league standings with 10 points accumulated over five games.
