It was a longer week in NWSL than usual with two midweek games. Portland and Orlando both played twice; Portland has been looking very sharp recently, especially with the addition of French international Amandine Henry, but Orlando is starting to struggle after a decent run of games. Meanwhile, WNY continues to pad its stats thanks to gaudy scorelines against hapless Boston while other teams manage more respectable scorelines in the middle of the table.
Who stood out over the course of six games?
Portland Thorns 2 - 0 Chicago Red Stars
