Summary

This week, Claire takes a snapshot look at the NWSL, where sometimes single games can tell you a whole lot more about a team than just the final score. She chats Orlando and KC’s special success, Portland’s ongoing troubles, and which players lit up the highlight reel. Then she talks through remarkable WNBA performances, why the expanding season is a good thing, and the surge of the Washington Mystics. Then she reads a few listener comments on volleyball, and tells how she was hoodwinked by the U20 USWNT on Tuesday.
