SEATTLE, WASH. - Seattle Reign FC (8-6-6, 30 points) earned a 1-0 win over Racing Louisville FC (7-8-5, 26 points) at Lumen Field on Tuesday night.

Racing generated 10 first-half shots, but goalkeeper Claudia Dickey produced three saves to keep the match scoreless at halftime. She added another stop in the 78th minute to secure her sixth shutout of the season and 12th of her NWSL career.

The breakthrough came after Seattle brought on rookie Maddie Dahlien in the 73rd minute and club original Jess Fishlock in the 85th. In the 90th minute, Dahlien broke free toward goal and delivered a pass across the top of the box, where Fishlock calmly finished between two closing defenders to seal the win.

Reign FC next travels to CPKC Stadium for its second meeting of the season with the Kansas City Current on Saturday, September 20 (4:30 p.m. PT / ION).
