Seattle Reign FC Head Coach Laura Harvey has authorized a strategic shift in her starting formation as the club prepares to host Portland Thorns FC at Lumen Field today.
She made her initial return from a major knee injury on April 26, 2024, but today marks her first start since the 2024 season.
The chemistry between these two veterans will be vital today as they integrate Brown into the starting structure.
Historically, Harvey-led teams have prioritized a core group of eight or nine players who form the spine of the team for the majority of the season.
For players like Ryanne Brown, being thrust into this specific match for a first start of the season is a trial by fire.
Seattle Reign FC adjusts its starting eleven as Ryanne Brown returns to replace injured Madison Curry in a crucial matchup against Portland Thorns FC.
