SEATTLE, WA. - Seattle Reign FC today confirmed that defender Ryanne Brown suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and torn meniscus during the first half of last Friday's victory against the Utah Royals.

"We're heartbroken for Ryanne," said head coach Laura Harvey. "She has consistently been a player who works hard every day to help the team as much as possible.
