Mallory Swanson had a goal and an assist as the Chicago Red Stars beat the Seattle Reign 2-1 on Sunday in the National Women’s Soccer League.
The Reign (1-4-0) have lost four straight for the first time since 2013.
Chicago (3-1-1) silenced the crowd at Seattle’s Lumen Field in the 4th minute. Swanson pulled two Reign defenders toward her on a breakaway before passing to Ally Schlegel, who took one touch in the box and shot into the left corner.
After her strike from distance went off the crossbar earlier in the half, Swanson got her goal in the 31st minute. Jenna Bike cut the ball back to Swanson, who dribbled to her left and scored with her left foot.
The Reign tried to rally in the second half. Chicago defender Tatumn Milazzo saved a shot off the line in the 59th minute, marking her second straight match with a goal-line save.
In the 79th, Seattle’s Tziarra King scored from outside the box shortly after subbing into the match, sending her shot into the upper right corner.
