Reign FC keep the good times rolling at Lumen Field. Keely Dunning and Laura Schott break down Sunday night's 1-0 win over San Diego Wave FC on Hello Kitty Night, from Maddie Mercado's 29th-minute header off a Maddie Dahlien cross, her eighth goal of the season, to the bat-swing celebration that followed it.
