OL Reign coach Laura Harvey praised the team’s substitutes, speaking to the club’s roster depth following Saturday’s win.

“That’s probably the most rewarding thing for me in this tournament,” said Harvey. “You’re seeing the future of what this club could be moving forward.”

Earlier in the day, America Femenil defeated AC Milan 5-4 in a thrilling third-place match, rounding out the Women’s Cup podium.
