USWNT players in NWSL week 2: A bad weekend for goalkeepers

NWSL is back! Well, it’s been back for a week, but last week I was on vacation, so here we are in week two, which had some real spice sprinkled on it. Let’s just dive right in with the spiciest game of them all.

Alyssa Naeher

She had a big face-to-face save on Tobin Heath, but Chicago’s defense, the windy weather conditions, and a well-taken Christine Sinclair PK made this a day for Naeher to put behind her.

Casey Short

Short did a mostly good-to-great job controlling Tobin Heath along the flank, but had a couple of whiffs that let Heath in.
