Description
The NWSL Shield race is coming down to the wire! Claire breaks down the three-way battle between Gotham FC, San Diego Wave, and the Washington Spirit with just two games left in the regular season. After Washington's massive win over Gotham, can the defending champions hold onto their lead, or is San Diego in the perfect position to steal the Shield on Decision Day?
Plus, how Jordan Dudley's season-ending injury is impacting Gotham's attack, what Jaedyn Shaw's potential return means for Sam Kerr and Rose Lavelle, and why Trinity Rodman and the Spirit are finding their rhythm at the perfect time. Claire also breaks down San Diego's five-game winning streak, Melanie Barcenas' incredible goal, and which team looks best positioned for a deep NWSL playoff run.
This episode is presented by Ally Bank, member FDIC.
