As usual in this week’s women’s soccer news, we saw some epic NWSL action. Plus, the FA WSL closed out its season naming a champion, and we’ve heard a ton of transfer and injury news and updates. Without further ado, check out this week’s women’s soccer news recap!

Mal Swanson was in attendance to cheer on the Chicago Red Stars to their 1-0 win over the Orlando Pride! She might have been their good luck charm, as this was their first win since mid-April! Yuki Nagasato scored the goal that put them up in the first half.
Plus, Alyssa Naeher nabbed the NWSL’s save of the week last week against the Portland Thorns, and her game against the Orlando Pride made her the goalkeeper with the most saves in the NWSL (previously held by Ashlyn Harris).
