Six teams have already been eliminated. Who continued to take a step forward and who stumbled near the finish line? All […]
As of October 20, three teams still have a chance at winning the NWSL Shield: Gotham FC, San Diego Wave, and Washington Spirit. The San Diego Wave have maintained their lead with a one-point advantage over their rivals, thanks to their strong performance and key contributions from players like Melanie Barcenas and Trinity Byars.
Gotham FC, on the other hand, have suffered a recent loss to Washington Spirit and now need to figure out how to reverse their current trend of conceding goals. Washington Spirit, despite conceding the second fewest goals in the league, still have work to do in terms of scoring goals and generating xG. The final five playoff spots, including the number four seed, are still up for grabs.
