Seattle Reign FC News Release


Seattle, WA - April 26, 2013 - Seattle Reign FC will play FC Kansas City tonight, Friday April 26 at 5:35p PT. The match will take place in Kansas City at Shawnee Mission North High School. This will be the first of back-to-back matches between Seattle and KC; the second will be the home opener next Saturday, May 4 in Seattle.

FC Kansas City managed a 1-1 draw against Portland Thorns FC in their home opener nearly two weeks ago. FC Kansas City was to face the Boston Breakers last weekend, but the match was rescheduled as a result of the tragic events that took place in Boston earlier in the week.

Last weekend Seattle suffered a 2-1 defeat to Thorns FC in front of over 16,000 fans in Portland. With Reign FC trailing 2-0 in the 74th minute, Jess Fishlock, the Wales international captain, scored on the half-volley just inside the top of the box, tucking the ball inside the post past Portland goalkeeper Karina LeBlanc. Fishlock was voted the NWSL Player of the Week for her outstanding performance.

Reign FC forward Tiffany Cameron, who missed the first two matches due to school commitments, will be available for the match. Goalkeeper Hope Solo is still recovering from wrist surgery and will miss the match. Forward Amy Rodriguez will miss the entire season as the result of her pregnancy.

"KC has proven to be a tough side, so we expect tonight's match to be a real battle," said Laura Harvey, GM and Head Coach of Seattle Reign FC. "Starting the season with three road games is a challenge, but it can't be an excuse. We need to find a way to leave with three points from the match."

The match against FCKC will be streamed live at www.ReignFC.com and will be available on-demand within 48 hours of the match by visiting the NWSL channel at www.YouTube.com/NWSL.

Reign FC's opening home match against FC Kansas City will take place next weekend - Saturday, May 4 at 8pm at Starfire Stadium. Prices for single match tickets are $26 for Grandstand Premium seating, $22 for Grandstand seating and $19 for Bleacher seating. Tickets can be purchased online at www.reignfc.com.
