The big news this past week was that Jimena López finally was able to join the OL Reign and made her debut. Although it was deep in stoppage and only briefly, López will hopefully start to get more minutes as she continues to train with the team. Hopefully other Mexican players in the NWSL will see their playing time increase as well, as only Katie Johnson got any significant playing time this past week.
