Nine draws. Nine. Draws.
As we’ve all followed this season, some stalemates certainly read more prestigiously than others. Pull two points from North Carolina, the far-and-away league leaders? Fantastic! Get four out of nine from the second best Seattle Reign? Wonderful! Take control of your destiny and move into a playoff spot?
Bueller?
Within the microcosm of the NWSL’s top tier, a second scoreless draw against the Reign is less a troublesome weak spot as it is a nuanced asset in the Red Stars’ arsenal, but that’s not the journey we are on right now.
