Thorns D Reyna Reyes suspended for additional match
Portland Thorns defender Reyna Reyes received an additional one-match suspension for her actions against the Seattle Reign on March 20.
Reyes drew a red card for pulling Reign defender Madison Curry’s hair in the 57th minute of Portland’s 2-0 win. She served her automatic one-match ban in Wednesday’s 3-1 loss to the San Diego Wave.
The additional suspension issued by the league Friday will keep her out of Saturday’s match against the visiting Kansas City Current.
Reyes, 25, violated Section 12.4.11 — “Major Game Misconduct” — of the league’s operations manual, according to a review by the NWSL Disciplinary Committee. Reyes is in her fourth season with the Thorns, who selected her with the fifth overall pick of the 2023 NWSL Draft out of Alabama.
