The opening week of the National Women’s Soccer League season is in the books. The reigning champs came flying out of the gate and the two teams most often picked to challenge them also claimed wins. Elsewhere, the Dash showed promise in defeat and several teams made average showings in 1-1 draws.
Here’s how they stack up this week. And remember, you can hit me up with your disagreement @thedanlauletta on both X and BlueSky.
It’s good to get a win
Orlando Pride (1-0-0, 3 pts; d. Stars, 6-0): Not much to say about the Pride who came out like gangbusters and whomped the Stars in an impressive start to their title defense. The only thing you can possibly say negatively about the performance is that they were not offered enough resistance and did not have to fight for much. Extremely impressive performance.
Kansas City Current (1-0-0, 3 pts; d. Thorns, 3-1): It wasn’t last year’s 5-4 jamboree, but the Current scored early again and were never in too much trouble in an opening day win…
