The Seattle Reign scored twice in the second half to rally past Racing Louisville 3-2 on Saturday for their first road win of the season.

The Reign (4-9-5, 17 points), who scored three goals for the first time this season, extended their unbeaten streak to six matches (2-0-4).

Racing (4-7-7, 19 points) have lost five of seven (1-5-1).

Ji So-Yun tied it 2-2 for Seattle in the 75th minute off a set piece, firing a bullet from the top of the area under the crossbar.

In the 81st minute, the Reign benefited from an own goal off a corner to go ahead 3-2 when Arin Wright, in a battle with Ji in the goal area, headed it into her own net.

Louisville took a 1-0 lead in the sixth minute off a corner. Savannah DeMelo delivered the serve, and Ary Borges, from the right side of the 6-yard box, connected on a header that deflected off the hands of goalkeeper Claudia Dickey and into the net.

In the 13th minute, the Reign converted a penalty to pull level. After Jess Fishlock was fouled in the box, Sofia Huerta stepped up to the spot and fired a shot into the left side of the net past the outstretched hand of goalkeeper Katie Lund.

Louisville capitalized on another corner in the 45th minute to go in front 2-1. Abby Erceg got her head on the ball at the top of the goal area, deflecting it to the front of the net where Taylor Flint headed it past Dickey.
