Look, every point matters all season long. But when you’re burning through regular season games and you can literally see your playoff hopes slipping through your fingers, every point matters. There were some critical results in this past week of NWSL play in terms of stnadings, and honestly just in terms of pride for some teams. Here’s how USWNT players did in NWSL in week 19.
Pugh only got about 30 minutes, subbing off in the first half for Cali Farquahrson. It seemed planned as Pugh returns to full strength.
Lavelle got a full half with the Spirit after an encouraging Tournament of Nations, but Utah was pretty much in charge while she was on the pitch.
