Megan Rapinoe continues to prove that she’s still a dominant force in women’s soccer.
Rapinoe, 37, scored a brace and added an assist in her club’s 4-1 win on Sunday.
OL Reign defeated Gotham FC in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) and Rapinoe played 75 minutes.
The four goals are a season-high for OL Reign, whose sister club, Olympique Lyonnais, was watching from the sidelines.
Both teams are owned by OL Groupe since 2019 and Sunday marks the first time they meet one another.
Rapinoe won a few titles in 2013-14 with OL in France, so the meeting was extra special for her.

Rapinoe drew and scored a penalty in the final minutes of the first half to give OL Reign a 2-0 lead heading into the break.
Rose Lavelle had opened the score in minute 15 off an assist from Rapinoe.
After halftime, Rapinoe scored her team’s third goal as the clock hit minute 69.
Gotham FC scored its first goal moments later but canceled it out with an own goal one minute after.
The entire 75 minutes Rapinoe was on the field were prove that she’s still an elite athlete despite her age, much like Venus and Serena Williams, LeBron James and Tom Brady.
