Fishlock Breaks Rapinoe’s Reign Scoring Record in 2-0 Win over the Legacy
Fishlock scored twice from distance and Seattle moved above the playoff line while Boston was eliminated from contention.
On Friday, midfielder Jess Fishlock scored two goals to break the Seattle Reign career scoring record in a 2-0 victory over the Boston Legacy at Lumen Field.
The 39-year-old Reign captain has been with the club since the NWSL's 2013 inaugural season and returned from an April ankle injury to make her second start of the season.
Fishlock scored her 51st career goal in the 23rd minute with a long-range shot, then broke the record with her 52nd strike from outside the box in the 64th minute.
With the victory, the Reign moved into the sixth seed in the NWSL standings with four games remaining, while Boston Legacy was eliminated from playoff contention.
Fishlock, who announced she will retire at season's end, will lead the Reign when they host the North Carolina Courage at Lumen Field next week.
