SEATTLE, WASH. - Seattle Reign FC (9-7-8, 35 points) earned a 1-1 comeback draw against Bay FC (4-12-8, 20 points) at Lumen Field on Friday Night.

Both sides created quality chances early, but Bay FC broke through in the 31st minute. Racheal Kundananji delivered a precise cross from just outside the box, finding midfielder Taylor Huff at the top of the goal area for a composed finish. Seattle equalized after club original Jess Fishlock entered as a substitute. In the 84th minute, Fishlock intercepted a clearance inside the box and slotted her shot perfectly between the goalkeeper and a defender to level the game. The veteran's sixth goal of the season was also the 48th of her NWSL career, tying her for 10th most all-time in league history.

Reign FC continues its home stretch next week, hosting Utah Royals FC for the club's final regular-season match at Lumen Field on Friday, October 17 (7:00 p.m. PT / FOX 13+, NWSL+).
