"After becoming the first team to clinch a playoff spot, Kansas City continues to crush the competition this season and are poised to run away with the Shield race. After beating Bay FC 2-0 this weekend, the Current are an incredible 14-games undefeated and lead the table by a 14-point gap. It's hard to imagine anyone stopping them in their pursuit of at least one trophy in 2025."
"The Spirit have withstood a number of changes and injuries throughout the past calendar year, but they're once again heading into the final stretch of the season as one of the undisputed best teams in the league. They beat a solid Seattle Reign squad 2-0 in Washington D.C. thanks to a brace of goals from Trinity Rodman and are undefeated in their last seven regular season games. Next up? A fascinating test with the top-ranked Kansas City Current."
"On Sunday evening in San Diego, the Wave retired USWNT icon and club treasure Alex Morgan's jersey, then proceeded to get dismantled by the mid-table Houston Dash. San Diego has frequently looked like one of the most formidable teams in the NWSL this season. But this wasn't one of those nights. They held more of the ball and outshot the Dash 19 to nine, but the two squads managed five each on target while Houston's chances proved much more lethal on the night."
Kansas City clinched the first playoff spot and sit atop the table with a 14-point lead, 14 games unbeaten after a 2-0 win over Bay FC. Washington Spirit are unbeaten in seven regular-season matches, powered by a Trinity Rodman brace in a 2-0 win over Seattle, and face Kansas City next. San Diego Wave retired Alex Morgan's jersey but lost to Houston despite superior possession and shots, as Houston converted more dangerous chances. Orlando, the reigning champions, are winless in seven regular-season games after a 5-2 loss to Chicago that included five second-half goals conceded.
