Dispiriting as it was, a listless home loss to Gotham was hardly the end of the road for the Reign. While the path before them narrowed with every dropped point, there was still a navigable road to the playoffs ahead, and it all had to start with getting a result against the worst side in the league. The Reign could not get that result. Despite assembling seven decent scoring chances, the Reign mostly couldn't even put one in a challenging place for Jane Campbell.

No, it wasn’t pretty, but in times like this it’s important to celebrate good things. By beating the Houston Dynamo, the Sounders have qualified for the the Western Conference semifinals for the 14th time in 16 seasons. It’s the seventh most in MLS history, and the only teams who have done it more had 13-season head starts. Jeremiah and Aaron give them their due.

The Reign finished out the 2024 season with a 3-2 loss away at Orlando. Jordyn Huitema finally broke the curse and scored her first NWSL goal since June 9th. Maddie Mercado played super sub and tallied her first ever NWSL regular season goal, but it wasn’t enough to beat the Shield winners. We reflect on the game as well as the season at large for the Reign, and look ahead to a hopefully brighter future for the team next season.

The 2024 Seattle Reign season will obviously be one to forget. They finished second to last in 13th place on 23 points, with 6 wins, 5 draws, and 15 losses. That loss total beats their previous worst record of 14 losses, which came in the inaugural 2013 season, where they finished 7th in the then 8-team league. The 2024 season was bad, very bad.

With two games remaining in the regular season, Seattle Reign are sadly out of the playoff hunt due to a season full of disappointing matches. Despite this, they want to finish their season with some joy and hopefully better results. They have their final chance to get a win in front of home fans tonight when they host the Houston Dash, a team level with the Reign on points but in last place due to goal differential.

Seattle Reign put their final slim playoff hopes to bed on Sunday when they lost 3-0 to the Utah Royals. They allowed Cloé Lacasse to score the first hat trick in the league this season and marked the earliest time from kickoff in league history that a player earned two yellow cards. Not the kind of records you want to break. The Reign have two matches remaining before they can hit the reset button. Up next is their final home match against the Houston Dash on Friday, October 18.
