An unknown number of you correctly predicted the result of Game 9, because that is happening tomorrow against KC - see you in the future!

This Saturday ACFC is back on the road facing Houston for the second time. Going into Game 9, ACFC is 3-4-1 after keeping a clean sheet against the Thorns last weekend. This is a long week, with a home game sandwiched between 2 away games, so hopefully we can manage minutes and come into Saturday with high energy. Sveindis is still the leader in attacking stats, and Taylor Suarez is persistently knockin' at the door, so we hope to see her first NWSL goal soon.

Houston sits just below Angel City at 13th and is winless in their last 5 games, including a 3-0 loss to KC last weekend. Houston's attack has been led by Kiki Van Zanten, with 4 goals on the season so far, followed by rookie Kat Rader who's had a strong start with 2 goals and 1 assist over Houston's 9 games.

Well, 44% of you correctly predicted last weekend's loss to Wave, and folks, we could use a win. So let's get it this weekend!

This Sunday the ladies head to Portland to face the Thorns for the second time this season, which feels weird! But sure! Portland is leading the standings with 19 points after 9 games. They broke a 5 game unbeaten streak last weekend, falling to Louisville 3-1. Their only goal in that game came from Sophia Wilson, who has 3 goals in her 4 games back from maternity leave. Leading the offense for the Thorns is Olivia Moultrie, with 4 goals and 4 assists this season, with strong showings from Reilyn Turner with 4 goals and Pietra Tordin with 3 goals and 3 assists.

Angel City is coming into this game after 4 consecutive losses, though encouragingly all of those have been by only a single goal differential. Sveindis remains our offensive leader with 3 goals and 2 assists, and we are holding strong in the top 3rd of the league in goals allowed with only 9 let in to date. This week Mai is off suspension from her red card (EDIT: guess not 😔), and we can expect to see more of Claire Emslie, so that's some offensive power to look forward to. Providence Park is always showing up, so hopefully we can shut 'em down.

In the first of SIX (6!!!) games our ladies will play in May, we're back at BMO this Saturday facing the Utah Royals.

Utah currently sits in 3rd place with 10 points after a decisive 3-0 win over the Reign this past weekend, with Paige Cronin scoring in the first minute of her first game of the season. Mina Tanaka and Chloe Lacasse have led the offense for Utah so far this season, with 2 goals and 1 assist and 1 goal and 2 assists respectively. Kate Del Fava is so far an Iron Woman leading the defense, and Tatumn Milazzo has also been a notable force at both ends of the field.

After a strong start to the season, Angel City sits 5th in the rankings with one less game played than all the teams above us, very much in the mix with a record of 3-2-0. Sveindis remains our offensive leader with 3 goals and 2 assists, followed by Kennedy Fuller with 3 goal contributions and Gisele Thompson with 2 goals. This past weekend brought the thrilling return of Jun Endo to the field, so we can look forward to seeing more of her.
