Second through seventh in NWSL are now just separated by two points. Such is life in a league where the teams that once looked dominant fell flat in a wild week six.
The Chicago Red Stars reasserted themselves after a slow start. They jumped all over North Carolina en route to a dominating win. Seattle Reign FC looked primed to make a big jump in the standings but their inability to keep a clean sheet kept them in the middle of everything.
In the midst of all that we saw the much anticipated debut of Mallory Pugh.
