For the Win: NWSL

The quarterfinals are underway. A gritty Chicago Red Stars team travels to the nearly-perfect Orlando Pride. North Carolina Courage face the formidable Kansas City Current, whose success on the field has been fueled by big-time investors like Angie Long and Brittany Mahomes off the field. The Bay FC expansion side make their post-season debut against a Washington Spirit team plagued with injuries.

Reigning champs Gotham FC crumble in a penalty shootout, sending Washington Spirit to the Championship match against Orlando Pride. In an NWSL season marked by the retirements of legends like Alex Morgan and Kelley OHara, will a young Spirit team lead the league into its next chapter? Or will 38-year-old Marta finally lift the Championship trophy after eight years in an Orlando jersey?
