NWSL Power Rankings: Kansas City Current still No. 1

Date:

It’s Monday, and another week of NWSL action is in the books, which means it’s time for ESPN’s Power Rankings.

Our rankings are derived from a combination of key season statistics (points per game, goal differential, expected goal differential), recent performance, the Opta computer ratings and the observations of our writers.

Who’s climbing the table? Who’s in free fall? Our writers and statistical models have ranked all 14 clubs in the league after Matchday 6. Let’s dive in.

Previous ranking: 1

Next match: Sunday at Houston Dash, 1 p.m. ET

The 3-1 scoreline flattered K.C. a bit, but any win away from home is a good win, and it was lovely to see Claire Lavogez score twice after a long, hard rehab from a torn ACL.
