It was kind of a strange week for NWSL. The Houston Dash, widely regarded as a team near the bottom of the barrel, took points off both Portland and Chicago and probably have room for a little more improvement. Portland, by the way, hasn’t won a game in their last five, including a loss to an Orlando Pride that kept Marta benched for the entire 90. Washington continues to struggle with its youth core and Sky Blue continues to struggle with...a lot of stuff. Here’s how USWNT players did in NWSL this past week.
Houston Dash 1 - 1 Portland Thorns
It was a bit of a sloppy game - not just from Horan but all around on Portland’s side.
