SEATTLE (November 3, 2014) - Reign FC players continued their campaigns abroad as Australia's W-League rounded out their eighth week and teams in the Frauen Bundesliga were back in action for Round 16 of the DFB-Pokal Cup competition.

LEAGUE PLAY:

Australia - W-League

Keelin Winters and Kendall Fletcher each played 90 minutes with their respective sides as the Western Sydney Wanderers played a close match against Canberra United on November 1. While the Wanderers looked to be in the clear for all three points after their goal in the 10th minute, the relentless efforts of Canberra United finally prevailed just as the game ticked over into stoppage time and the teams shared points with a 1-1 draw.

Match Report

Lauren Barnes and Elli Reed both played 90 minutes in Melbourne Victory's 3-1 loss to Perth Glory on November 2.

Barnes, Reed and Melbourne Victory will now turn their attention to their match against Winters and the Western Sydney Wanderers while Fletcher and Canberra United will face Sydney FC. Both games will take place on November 9.

NATIONAL TEAM UPDATES:

Little and Scotland National Team Eliminated From World Cup Qualifying

Kim Little and the Scotland Women's National Team's 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup hopes were dashed after their 2-0 loss to the Netherlands in the second leg of their World Cup qualifying semifinal playoff on October 30 in Rotterdam.

Scotland entered the match already needing two goals due to their 2-1 first round loss on October 25 in Edinburgh. They came out with high pressure and a lot of intensity in the first half, keeping the Dutch at bay while stringing together a few promising looks on goal. The Dutch made an uphill challenge for Scotland even steeper after putting away a goal in the second half for the 3-1 aggregate lead. The game was finished off when the Netherlands found goal number two and advanced to the playoff finals with an aggregate score of 4-1.
