Due in part to a postponed match, we have a new leader in the standings for the first time in a while. The Chicago Red Stars passed North Carolina with their 2-1 win over Orlando. With weather postponing North Carolina’s match, they are now a point behind with a game in hand.
Elsewhere, the match of the weekend happened in Seattle. The two top candidates for MVP, Megan Rapinoe and Sam Kerr battled it out in a nine-goal thriller. Houston extended their unbeaten streak to six and Portland got another three points.
