Plenty of questions hang over NWSL after this week. North Carolina lost their first to Orlando, who was last in the previous rankings. Seattle buried Washington after the Mallory Pugh announcement, how high do they climb.
As the season goes on, the trends start to emerge and a clearer picture of the league has formed.
1-3-1, 4 pts
Mallory Pugh can help out the offense but who is going to fix the backline who let in six at Seattle? Hopefully Jim Gabarra never tries that three back again.
1-2-2, 5 pts
Holding Portland scoreless is another sign that Kansas City has one of the better defenses in the league.
