Jess Fishlock, the last one-club #NWSL original player, is back for a 14th year in Seattle. She told @espn.com:
"From the moment I moved here, I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to leave. I’ve wanted to build my whole career here because of the deep meaning that it has for me.”
Dear Seattle 💌
A love letter to the Emerald City from Lu Barnes. 💙
10 - With her goal on Friday, @reignfc.com's Sofia Huerta became the third player to score a goal in 10 different #NWSL seasons (Christine Sinclair, Jess Fishlock - 11 each). Tradition.
4 - @reignfc.com's Maddie Dahlien is the first player in #NWSL history whose first four career regular-season goals were all match-winners. Crucial.
Only four players in @nwslsoccer.com regular season history have recorded 30+ goals and 30+ assists — and three of those players are on our current roster. 👑 #ReignTogether
The pass from Sofia Huerta 🎯
The header from Jordyn Huitema 🔥
A NEW RECORD 👑
Sofia Huerta now holds the @nwslsoccer.com assist record with 32 regular season assists. ✨
Congratulations Sofia!
Following her goal on August 18, Reign FC forward Emeri Adames is now tied for the most goals (6) in a single NWSL season by a teenager:
- Emeri Adames (2025)
- Jaedyn Shaw (2023)
- Trinity Rodman (2021)
- Mallory Swanson (2017)
- Sam Kerr (2013)
Last week, Jess Fishlock became just the fourth player in NWSL history to record 30+ goals and 30+ assists (regular season).
More impressively, three of the four players are on Reign FC’s active roster:
– Fishlock (45g/30a)
– Lynn Biyendolo (70g/31a)
– Sofia Huerta (37g/31a)
3 - Jess Fishlock's goal for @reignfc.com on Friday was her third goal contribution of the 2025 regular season (2 goals, 1 assist). Fishlock has now contributed to at least three goals in all 12 #NWSL regular seasons. Triumph.
A dream come true for Maddie Prohaska ✨⚽️
Sunday’s match marked Maddie’s first start with Reign, with the goalkeeper playing all 90 minutes and making key saves to help the club secure the win. 👏

12 - Lynn Biyendolo has scored 12 goals as a substitute in her #USWNT career, more than any other player since she made her debut in October 2016. Dozen.
5 - @reignfc's Claudia Dickey has allowed only 6 goals despite an expected goals conceded on shots on target of 11.0, with the 5.0 goals prevented the best of any goalkeeper in the #NWSL this season. Savings.
There are 56 NWSL players with at least 10 tackles this season. Of those, only four have a tackle success rate of 85% or higher - and three are on the Reign:
1. Phoebe McClernon - 90%

3. Ally Watt - 87%
4. Maddie Dahlien - 86%

Jess Fishlock is a club legend. She has started in 98% of her 200 Reign FC appearances, averaging 84 minutes per game.
It’s rare for an athlete to stay with the same team for 13 years. It’s even more rare for that athlete to consistently perform at the highest level over that span.
We’re only in Week 2, but this is some incredible chemistry and passing by Reign FC that leads to Jess Fishlock’s 43rd NWSL goal in her 200th appearance.

"You see that bond that everybody is talking about, that culture, that piece of just not only giving to each other on the field, but giving back to the community."
Lynn Biyendolo [formerly Williams!] reflects on Seattle Reign's culture on day 1 of preseason.

Day one of season four in the books and this one feels special - new smiles, exciting stories and endless opportunities ahead.
Can’t wait to see the impact this rising club will make in 2025.
