The most important thing for us is she is also very comfortable in possession, whether under pressure or not, she can keep control of the ball and move it in the way that we want her to." [8]Solaun made her debut for the Reign during 2-0 win over the University of Washington during preseason play but sat out the season after suffering an injury.[9][10] During the team's first 2016 pre-season match against the Portland Thorns, Solaun scored the game-winning goal in the 75th minute helping the Reign win 2–0.[11] She made her debut for the club during its season opener against Sky Blue FC on April 17.[12]
