What a day it was to be a Seattle reign substitute.

After a scoreless first half that saw Seattle putting all kinds of pressure on the Washington Spirit, Seattle kept pressing. When Beverly Yanez entered the game as a sub, that pressing paid off. Yanez's first touch on the end of a Megan Rapinoe cross broke the deadlock and it was all Seattle from there. 

A few minutes after Yanez's goal, Rapinoe got behind the defense and scored a goal of her own. 

Mariah Bullock replaced Rapinoe near the end of the match, and HER first touch was a volley that put the match away for good, 3-0 to the Reign. Seattle will meet Kansas City FC on the NWSL final on Oct. 1.
