It was a lovely night for soccer and Pride on Wednesday and the crowd was anticipating a rout versus lowly Sky Blue FC. It was not to be. For our players, this was not a profitable match, with WallofEmilys the big winner, scoring four of a possible seventeen points with a goal, assist and rec’d prediction of the Thorns helping out their Timbers brethren.
Like the NWSL, we see a crowd at the top of our table. Unlike the NWSL table, nobody is running away with the top spot – half the field is still within striking distance of the title and the other half for the mid-place prize.
