Pop quiz: Which local team that’s never won a title is on a feel-good playoff run?

Okay, fine... the photo may have given it away. We’re talking about OL Reign — the electrifying Seattle squad in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL). ⚽

They’re the No. 1 seed in the 2022 NWSL playoffs and will face off against Kansas City on Sun., Oct. 23 in the semifinals (4:30 p.m., CBS Sports Network).

You may know star Megan Rapinoe already — national icon and queen of the majestic goal celebration. But you should also brush up on the whole team and study the Reign chant sheet before you start screaming your heads off.

Our favorite cheer? Whenever a Reign player is fouled, we yell “You can’t do that.” 👏 - 👏 - 👏👏👏
