"After beating Seattle 2-0 on Saturday, the Current are the fastest-ever team to collect the NWSL Shield based on the number of games left to play. Fittingly, Temwa Chawinga celebrated her birthday by scoring her 13th goal of the season in the win, bringing her level with Esther González at the top of the scoring charts once again. Vlatko Andonovski's side now have 17 wins, two draws and two losses from 21 games played, and show no signs of slowing down ahead of the postseason."
"Trinity Rodman broke through first, following up her own blocked penalty for her third goal in three games. Croix Bethune followed in the second half to clinch a point after the Spirit had fallen behind, as both players hit a hot stride of form ahead of the postseason after working back from injuries earlier in the year. The Spirit are now undefeated in nine-straight NWSL games, though six of those games have been draws."
Kansas City Current claimed the NWSL Shield early after a 2-0 victory over Seattle, reaching 17 wins, two draws and two losses from 21 matches. Temwa Chawinga scored her 13th goal, tying Esther González for the league lead. Washington Spirit played to a 2-2 draw with Angel City, with Trinity Rodman and Croix Bethune finding form after returning from injury and the team extending an unbeaten run to nine matches; Hal Hershfelt missed the game serving a red card suspension. Gotham FC drew 1-1 in California with Rose Lavelle returning to the scoresheet as they prepare for playoff-contending opponents.
