- Megan Rapinoe received a hero's sendoff from a National Women's Soccer League record crowd of 34,130 on Friday, as the OL Reign stalwart played her final regular season home game, a scoreless draw against the Washington Spirit, in Seattle.

"To be able to play here my whole career, in one city... it's just really special to be able to have this."
