The National Women's Soccer League kicked off last Friday with Seattle Reign FC coming out on top.</p>
<p>
Seattle Reign stormed their first match of the NWSL with a 5-1 win over Western New York Flash.</p>
<p>
Reign started the match with 10 of the 11 players they started with last year. Seattle got off to a good start when Jessica Fishlock scored the opener in the 25th minute.</p>
<p>
Over the rest of the first half both team continued to pile on the pressure but no goals were scored.</p>
<p>
It appears the sides were saving themselves for the second half, which certainly didn't disappoint. Beverly Yanez got the first goal of the 2nd half after scoring a well-timed finish from just inside the 18-yard box.</p>
<p>
Western New York did get a goal back, when Jordan Angeli scored a nicely finished shot into the back of the net. Setting the match score to 2-1.</p>
<p>
Once the 70th minute arrived however, we saw just what Megan Rapinoe is capable of when she scored three consecutive goals in the 71st, 74th and 86th minute.</p>
<p>
Over the course of the match Seattle looked to be in control and will be raring to try and keep their lead at the top of the table. </p>
<p>
Many consider the success down to a good pre-season held by the Reign during which they trained with Diamond Soccer Equipment - <a href="https://twitter.com/SeattleReignFC/status/578640948076236800" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">See here</a>! </p>
