INDIO, CA. – Playing in their opening match of the 2025 Coachella Valley Invitational, Seattle Reign FC secured a 1-0 win over Bay FC in Indio, Calif., at the Empire Polo Club on Sunday afternoon with the lone goal coming from Lynn Biyendolo.
Reign FC Scoring Play:9′ – Lynn Biyendolo: Madison Curry took a shot from the top of the box, which then deflected off a few Bay FC players only for Lynn Biyendolo to get a shot off and find the back of the net.
- Goalkeeper Claudia Dickey came up big with a save in the 32nd minute when Bay FC dribbled down the left side and crossed the ball into the box, setting up their attacker near the center of the box, but the one-touch shot wasn’t enough to get past Dickey.
