The Washington Spirit are back in the #NWSL Championship and while their path might seem familiar, @thedanlauletta.bsky.social says this team is unique in the way it has battled and bonded.

Gabrielle Carle is OUT for tomorrow’s NWSL Championship with a hamstring injury

Yes! 13, 17, 18, 22-- only win was 17

Anyone have anything?

It's time to predict end-of-year #NWSL Awards! Hear from @thedanlauletta.bsky.social, @jennapel.bsky.social and Emma Hruby on who they think deserve each honor:

NWSL semifinal weekend is here! By this time Sunday we will know, or nearly know, who will be heading to San Jose for the NWSL Championship

Does Gotham have another road upset in them in this battle of the last two #NWSL Championship winners?

Here are two players to watch in #NWSLSemifinal #1, the @washingtonspirit.com vs. the @thornsfc.com, Saturday at 12pm:

Here is the team at NWSL This Week. Two weeks to go until the season ends. Wonder who we'll be discussing as the champs a week from Monday

I try not to go here, but how are these broadcasts moving the #NWSL forward or servicing any existing fans?

Reign had plenty of chances to equalize but were poor in the attacking 3rd, Pride ice it on Luana penalty after an insane run by Marta to draw the foul

Two biggest in-season acquisitions in this match; Jacqueline Ovalle active in the Orlando attack that half; Mia Fishel watches from Reign bench as coaching staff ponder adjustments

The first #NWSLQuarterfinal game will be played this Friday, Nov. 7, in Orlando. Here's what you need to know before the @orlpride.com and @reignfc.com face off:

Racung Louisville are going to the playoffs! Here’s the latest episode as we recap the final weekend of the 2025 regular season

Last weekend in Hartford, Alyssa Naeher faced her toughest task yet: accepting praise. As former teammate Casey Krueger said, “She deserves the world. She’s the best, whether she likes it or not, she’s gonna take all those compliments.” equalizersoccer.com/2025/11/03/a...

Stars close out their run at SeatGeek with a late, 2-1 win over Angel City. By my count they finish 49-32-24 (54-37-29 all comps). Hoping the new location next year will be more fan friendly

Racing Louisville are going to the playoffs! Ella Hase's first professional goal is the biggest in the 5-year history of Racing. And it looks like they will also avoid a trip to Kansas City next weekend

Ali Riley enters the match for Angel City in stoppage time, her final professional appearance

#NWSL Decision Day is underway. Bekki, Michael and I will get you updated on all the happenings and quarterfinal matchups on our next episode dropping early Monday!

Christen Press has announced her retirement after the final two Angel City matches this season #NWSL #USWNT

#NWSL are you paying attention?

And Jaedyn Shaw just had one of the best assists of the season to put Gotham up 2-0 on Portland

Most of the 1st half in Kansas City played out like an attacking drill, but the best part was Chawinga hustling back on defense to take a ball away from Stars player AND THEN booking it to the end line to turn a corner into a throw. KC did get a break on the call against Ludmila methinks

Current's bit to keep their remarkable shutout streak alive against Stars tomorrow night will commence without Kayla Sharples (lower leg) and Hailie Mace (lower leg); Sharples has had a fabulous season and had been on for every minute to this point

Lorena has 12 shutouts this season and has conceded 10 goals

Love it when the broadcaster picks up on a poignant moment in real time. Jess Fishlock scores in the 90th minute, sprints straight to GM Leslie Gallimore for the hug. Josh Eastern all over it on NWSL+ Josh, btw, needs to be on more NWSL matches

Kaleigh Kurtz is on the verge of holding all of the NWSL’s ironwoman records, set to break the consecutive appearance record Saturday with No. 108. She spoke to @thedanlauletta.bsky.social about her journey from undrafted free agent to ultimate ironwoman. 📰

A formal ceremony probably wouldn't be needed to ensure no San Diego Wave player would ever wear the number 13 again - because that number belongs to Alex Morgan. @thedanlauletta.bsky.social on Morgan's legacy ⤵️ equalizersoccer.com/2025/09/07/a...

In one of the shock results I can remember in #NWSL the Stars rally from 3-0 down with less than 20 minutes to play and steal a 3-3 road draw on an Alyssa Naeher equalizer! Has a team ever been so happy even as their winless streak extends to a club record 12 games?

Can't complain about the amount of coverage you get when you set yourself up NOT to be covered, when you don't take accountability for all that happens both positive and negative. What journalist with a choice would possibly opt IN to covering NWSL?

In a league still scarred from not-so-distant scandals, secrecy and lack of answers around Sean Nahas' firing have led to rampant speculation with no benefits, least of all to the NWSL's credibility, @thedanlauletta.bsky.social writes: equalizersoccer.com/2025/08/07/l...

Still captivated by that highlight from Trinity Rodman this weekend? We are too! @thedanlauletta.bsky.social broke down her stoppage time goal here:

Well the Courage just cloaked themselves in embarrassment after one of the worst press availabilities I have ever seen. Suffice it to say there is no further information about why Sean Nahas lots his job yesterday. And per Ceri Bowley they have not begun to think about a replacement yet

Check out our latest, as promised: www.americansocceranalysis.com/home/2025/8/...

While Angel City and the Utah Royals continue to plummet, Kansas City and Orlando remain at the top of the pack. @thedanlauletta.bsky.social takes a look at all 14 #NWSL teams and how they stack up halfway through the season. equalizersoccer.com/2025/06/16/l...

Anatomy of a Goal is back with @thedanlauletta.bsky.social! This week, he breaks down Cortnee Vine's goal from the North Carolina Courage's opening moments against Angel City FC.

For teams not in Utah or Chicago, is there any #NWSL team going into the break in worse shape than Angel City? They have not won since May 9, back when we thought they may be contenders, their only clean sheet was against the Royals, and their best players are no longer difference makers

FT: Louisville 2-0 Pride | No other way to say it than Racing flat outplayed the Pride tonight. They may want to lobby #NWSL to cancel the break and keep playing games. Kayla Fischer returns after the break

As Racing's match against Orlando kicks off, Lauren Milliet has now appeared in all 107 of the club's regular season matches. That streak is a new league record, snapping a tie with Sam Staab

In the least surprising development of this, or any, #NWSL weekend, the Current are on the board less than 2 minutes in. This time against an in-form Racing side. Only a narrow offside position kept it from being 2-0

Huge win for Racing. At home against a team they should beat, after a brutal start they were 2-2 and up a woman with 15 to go. Needed a goal for the 3 points and got it from Sarah Weber for 3-2 win over Royals #NWSL

Hilary Knight says she has no plans to retire, or to move on from Seattle, after her initial 1-year contract expires next year

Confirmed there are no formal rules in place for #NWSL players loaned within the league to be forced to sit out matches against club holding contract. However, arrangements of that nature may be negotiated as part of the agreement

The #NWSL has approved intra-league loans, effective immediately. Also announced that Boston and Denver will have additional allocation money to use for building inaugural rosters ahead of 2026 debut seasons

PWHL protection lists are out: BOS: Frankel, Keller Müller MIN: Coyne Schofield, Heise, Stecklein MTL: Desbiens, Poulin, Stacey NY: Fillier, Shelton, Zandee-Hart OTT: Clark, Philips, Savolainen TOR: Fast, Turnbull, Watts
