USWNT star Rose Lavelle in the house! OL Reign forward decked out in FC Cincinnati gear ahead of club's Eastern Conference semifinal match vs Philadelphia Union

<p>The official FC Cincy account posted the clip on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, highlighting that the superstar footballer would be in attendance Saturday evening. Lavell herself just played in NWSL final - unfortunately just coming up short in an OL Reign loss to Gotham FC - but maybe she'll bring some good luck to her hometown team on the evening.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="es" dir="ltr">¡Vamos, Rose! 🌹 <a href="https://t.co/uco6LMoine">pic.twitter.com/uco6LMoine</a></p>— FC Cincinnati (@fccincinnati) <a href="https://twitter.com/fccincinnati/status/1728544738662551981?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 25, 2023</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Speaking while wearing an FC Cincinnati hat and jersey with a winter coat on, Lavelle said: "Hey guys, it's Rose - I'm so excited to be at the game tonight and I'm so excited to cheer on the Orange and Blue. Let's get the win, VAMOS FCC!"</p><p></p>

WHAT LAVELLE SAID

<p>The expectations are beyond the ceiling this postseason for Cincy; they're the No. 1 overall seed and sport the 2023 MVP favorite on their roster in midfielder Lucho Acosta. On top of that, they won the MLS regular season award by finishing top of the table, being handed the Supporters' Shield as a result. Now, Pat Noonan's side are set to take one 2022 MLS Cup finalists, Philadelphia Union, in their biggest test yet. However, with Lavelle - a World Cup champion - in the stands, cheering them on, they might just get over the line.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>FCC are headed to the Eastern Conference finals, and have a date with the Columbus Crew. Lavelle's attendance proved to be lucky after all, with Pat Noonan's side now set to host their intra-state rivals on December 2. </p>
