Seattle Reign FC News Release
INDIO, CA. - Seattle Reign FC defeated Angel City FC 1-0 on Saturday afternoon at the Empire Polo Club to wrap up play at the 2026 Coachella Valley Invitational in Indio, California. After a scoreless first half, Nerilia Mondesir, whose 2027 mutual option was exercised during preseason camp, netted the game-winner in the 54th minute. Angel City attempted to clear the ball from inside the box, but Maddie Mercado stepped in to block the clearance, sending it to Mondesir just outside the 18-yard box. The Haitian forward took one touch before firing a long-range strike past the goalkeeper to give Seattle the win.
The club now returns home to finalize preparations for the 2026 NWSL regular season. Reign FC opens its campaign on Sunday, March 15 against the Orlando Pride at Inter&Co Stadium (1:00 p.m. PT / Victory+).
