Bri Scurry knows how to get the KC faithful LOUD 👏

Lexington SC's Emina Ekic and Dallas Trinity FC's Chioma Ubogagu are the most likely candidates to reach 10 career regular season assists in #GainbridgeSuperLeague history. My colleague De Turner looked at the head-to-head between the two. www.gainbridgesuperleague.com/news/2025/09...

Sunday evening soccer in San Jose — Bay FC hosts Gotham FC in Week 21 finale. Watch on ESPN2 at 7:30 pm CT. Gotham can finish 3rd on the week with a win or draw; otherwise they'll be in 5th. Bay can't move up in the standings but can earn a crucial 3 points.

Classy move by Thorns & Wave players to take a knee before kickoff in honor of Matt Beard — and all of them are wearing wrist tape featuring his initials. Several active NWSL players played for Beard at Boston — including San Diego's Adriana Leon. His 1st rd 2017 picks included Lavelle & Purce.

Win and they prevent KC from clinching Shield this weekend!

NWSL Week 21 kicks off early with Angel City hosting Washington tonight — watch on CBS Sports at 9:30 pm. Angel City won last 2 home games — can they make it 3 for 3? Spirit can get closer to clinching playoffs with a win, while a draw/loss opens the door for KC to take the Shield this weekend.

Portland will retire its iconic #12 jsy on Oct 4 when the Thorns host Bay FC. That means Sinclair will be the 1st int'l player to have her NWSL jersey retired. Random side note for Texans — she won both of her NCAA titles & also scored her record-breaking 185th int'l goal in the Lone Star State!

Jess Fishlock gets late GWG for Seattle … and now there are FOUR teams tied on 30 points (3rd thru 6th place). Fishlock — breaks own record as oldest to score GWG off the bench. Iit's only her 10th time coming off the bench in 209 regular season apps. Rookie Dahlien with the assist (4th of 2025).

The 2nd half of SEAvLOU will be played at 7 pm CT — watch on NWSL+ and Paramount+ Then at 9 pm, Gotham faces Vancouver Rise Academy in Canada in Concacaf group stage — watch on P+ and ESPN Deportes.

A Sunday tripleheader to wrap up NWSL Week 20 — all 3 are on P+ and NWSL+ in the US. Now: CHIvPOR Thorns draw/loss means KC can't finish lower than 2nd. Stars unbeaten in six games! 4 pm CT UTAvHOU Dash could set new club unbeaten streak 7 pm CT SEAvLOU Harvey faces her former player Bev Yanez!

GK MADNESS! McKinley Crone made her 1st reg season start, becoming 25th GK to play in NWSL this season. NWSL debut: CHI Mackiewicz, LA Seabert, WAS MacIver Reg season debut: BAY Allen, BAY Silkowitz, NC Jordan, LOU Bloomer, ORL Crone Pro debut: GFC Campbell, UTA Justus Club: HOU Smith, KC Ivory

Week 20 for NWSL kicks off at 9 pm CT with San Diego hosting Gotham, live on Prime. - Sheridan is 1 goal shy of 600 reg saves (only Naaher has passed 600) - Jaedyn Shaw could make her Gotham debut against her original club - Shaw scored the first-ever NWSL goal at this venue in Sept 2022 vs LA

It's a three-way tie since 2016, at 33 shots off target: May 6, 2018: NC - CHI September 21, 2024: CHI - SD October 4, 2024: HOU - CHI

EMERGENCY POD!!! The Jaedyn Shaw transfer to Gotham FC broke just as we wrapped recording our main feed episode this week, so we had to jump back on the mics and marvel at the #NWSL record $1.25 million price tag, and figure out how it all went wrong for Shaw in North Carolina.

Coast to Coast 🗽➡️🌴 Angel City FC has acquired midfielder Nealy Martin through a trade with NJ/NY Gotham FC.

FULL TIME: San Diego Wave 0, Houston Dash 3 The Dash spoil the party on Alex Morgan's jersey retirement night, and Houston has entered the chat for the #NWSL playoff push. Between this and Orlando's loss to Chicago today, Washington is firmly alone in 2nd.

Stay tuned on ESPN for the Alex Morgan official NWSL jersey retirement ceremony! And Keeper Notes is giving away an NWSL almanac to the first 3 fans who can name the FIVE jerseys that have already been retired in NWSL. EMAIL [email protected]!

Let's add to that last stat nugget — first time Dash have scored 3 goals on the road since March 2024 at Bay. A clean sheet would be the first for Houston since May 11 at Seattle.

First time this season that Dash have scored TWO goals in the 1st half of a road game — and just 6th & 7th 1st half goals of 2025 for the club. It's worth noting that Houston has not lost since Chappy returned to starting XI. Win/draw tonight = 6 straight without a loss. 6 would equal club record.

Last game of Week 19 kicking off shortly on ESPN. It's the battle of the 2017 GK draftees! Kailen Sheridan's San Diego Wave takes on Jane Campbell's Houston Dash. Houston is undefeated in last 5 games, 1 shy of club record streak. Sheridan is 3 saves away from her 600th NWSL reg season save!

And with Washington’s win vs Seattle today, KC is guaranteed a top 4 seed for the playoffs & a home playoff game. Rodman with a brace today in just her 2nd full 90 since the Olympics!

Big moment for the Wave tonight as they retire Alex Morgan’s jersey tonight. Hers is the 6th NWSL jersey # to be retired in league history, and the first by an expansion club. Coverage begins 7:30 pm CT on ESPN.

Saturday NWSL doubleheader coming up on ION — North Carolina hosts Utah at 6:30 pm CT followed by Bay FC vs Kansas City at 9 pm CT. KC can clinch a top 4 seed (and guaranteed home game for the playoffs) with a WIN tonight plus ONE of the following Sunday results: WAS win OR HOU win

Week 19 in NWSL gets underway in about 30 minutes in Louisville! Racing hosts Portland in the only Friday match of the week, live on Prime. A win for the home team = most wins/points for the club in a single season A win for the Thorns would be first in Louisville since 2022.
