Week 7 in the National Women’s Soccer League brought no shortage of team goals. Here’s a sampling of the highlights: the Denver Summit strung together the longest passing sequence of the season so far on the way to scoring one of their four goals, the Kansas City Current’s Temwa Chawinga notched a hat trick in under 30 minutes, and Racing Louisville’s Emma Sears scored a second-half stoppage time goal off the bench to seal a win over then-first place Portland.
How could I possibly pick one goal to break down, when those are only a subset of the options?
Well, San Diego’s 81st-minute game-winner against Angel City was the winner, mainly because it involved a potential ‘service of the year’ assist. Let’s break it down! But first, as always, the sequence in full.
The build up here started at the feet of the Wave’s Melanie Barcenas.
