Seattle Reign FC faced a challenging match against Gotham FC, falling 2-0 on a rainy night at Lumen Field. The game began with both teams feeling each other out, but Gotham quickly took control of possession. Seattle's first real chance came in the 14th minute when Nerilia Mondesir attempted a low shot, which was easily saved by Gotham's goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger. The Reign's pressure continued, but they struggled to convert their opportunities into goals. In the 24th minute, Gotham's Jaedyn Shaw scored the opening goal after a well-executed play that left the Reign's defense scrambling. After halftime, Seattle made a substitution, bringing in Maddie Mercado, but Gotham doubled their lead in the 57th minute with a close-range goal from Tierna Davidson following a corner kick. Despite a late push from the Reign, including a shot on target from Brittany Ratcliffe, they were unable to find the back of the net, ending the match with a 2-0 defeat. Notably, defender Phoebe McClernon reached 100 NWSL regular appearances, while Sofia Huerta also celebrated her 100th appearance for Seattle Reign FC. The team will now prepare for two upcoming road matches before a month-long break in June.
