USWNT players in NWSL: Week 1 roundup

How did the national team players fare for their clubs in NWSL's opening weekend?

NWSL began season four this past weekend, a historic event after its two predecessors, WUSA and WPS, folded in season three. Moreover the league looks solid in its fourth season, as opposed to the shaky uncertainty that followed the other leagues after their third years.

There is some uncertainty around the league due to the WNT's ongoing wage discrimination case and the possibility of a strike against US Soccer, which pays WNT player salaries in NWSL as part of the federation's subsidization of the league.
