The San Diego Wave remain atop the ESPN's NWSL Power Rankings, but the Washington Spirit are also moving up.

Understandable fall down the rankings:

\7. Seattle Reign FC

Previous ranking: 4
Next match: at Houston Dash, May 1, 8 p.m. ET

One word that defines Seattle's 3-0 loss to Utah: sloppy. The Reign struggled in the face of their opponent's well-drilled press to the point where they coughed up the ball inside their own box and conceded a goal in the first minute of the game. Poor press-breaking popped up later in the first half, too, including on their third concession. For those worried about the Reign's attacking quality (or lack thereof), Sunday's loss provided little comfort. Add an injury to the influential Jess Fishlock, and things look dicey for Seattle.
