TACOMA, WA–Rose Lavelle returned to the Spirit after a spell at Manchester City and helped them get a 1-0 win at OL Reign thanks to a Megan Rapinoe own goal. Karen Bardsley mishandled a corner in the 52nd minute that ricocheted off Rapinoe and into the net for what would be the only score of the game. Bardsley would leave the match four minutes from time with an injured hamstring. Meanwhile, it’s back-to-back wins for the Spirit who vault to second place behind Orlando while it’s loss #1 for OL Reign who are now in seventh.
