Huerta and Dahlien score as NWSL's Reign snap scoreless skid and beat Legacy 2-1
PAWTUCKET, R.I. (AP) --- Sofia Huerta and Maddie Dahlien scored and the Seattle
Reign snapped a five-game winless streak with a 2-1 victory over the Boston
Legacy on Friday night in the National Women's Soccer League.
Huerta converted a penalty kick in the 11th minute, ending a 511-minute stretch
without a goal for the Reign (4-2-4). Seattle was awarded the penalty when
Boston's Jorelyn Carabal was called for a handball in the box.
Dahlien added a goal in the 51st, scoring off a long pass into the box from
Madison Curry.
It appeared that Boston (2-4-5) had closed the gap in the 87th with a goal from
Assata Traor, but a video review showed she was offside. Traor eventually
scored in stoppage time.
The game was played at Centreville Bank Stadium, marking the first time Rhode
Island had hosted a professional women's soccer match.
The Legacy's home this season, Gillette Stadium, is unavailable because it will
host World Cup matches starting next month. The Legacy will play seven times in
Pawtucket.
