SEATTLE — The Seattle Reign retired former star Megan Rapinoe's No. 15 jersey and then capped the celebration with a 1-0 stoppage-time victory over the North Carolina Courage in the National Women's Soccer League on Sunday night. Teenager Emeri Adames finally broke through for the Reign seven minutes into stoppage time with a header that bounced off the post and into the goal as Courage goalkeeper Casey Murphy tried in vain to stop it. Afterward, 18-year-old Adames celebrated by striking Rapinoe's iconic victory pose from the 2019 Women's World Cup as Rapinoe cheered her on from the stands.
