Congrats to Byars! First start, first goal. Long time coming, definitely worthy of celebration. I would have liked her to take the shot before passing to Ascanio. She also needs to learn to change her pace. Now she’s mostly jogging the whole time.

Congrats to Ascanio. She’s showing tremendous growth from last season. A bonehead by the goalie but we’ll take it.

It was the second clean header goal from a corner this season. We are not tall but please stop wasting corners on shorts. Kick it in and see what happens. Put more players in the box (now only 5). So many goals happen from a mess in front of the goal.

Excellent game by McNabb. One bad mistake in the second half but overall she’s having an excellent season.

Love Moroni going up against Rodman. Shutting her down. She’s great except the last 15 minutes when she gets tired and sloppy and reckless in almost every game. There was a close call for a potential penalty.

MVZ continues to shine. What a season for her. She should have taken the shot in the second half though!!

What a luxury to replace three attackers at half and continue to be equally dangerous. We are stacked. Use subs and keep them fresh.

Godfrey is really good. Especially in transition offense.

I wonder what Ludmila needs to shine. She’s working hard but not living up to her promises.

I love the energy Wynalda brings in. I want to see more of her.

#9 is wide open in this team. When is Leon coming back? Little talked about is her clean first touch and ability to be an anchor up high in the offense. That would be invaluable in this team and we haven’t had that yet this season.

Still early but Haracic seems to be the level of a starter of a winning team.

We had a few good opportunities in transition from a very low and risky buildup from our goal line. But we can skip that altogether. Too risky.

Washington was playing dirty. Especially the first half. Every contest involved a little push and shove that often go under the radar. The ref did a decent job calling a few of them to keep it in check. Stay classy Wave.

It was one of the highest level matches I’ve seen in this league. Could have gone either way. Well earned 3. Provisional #1!!

Freeman got tested for the first time and did not look good. She’s not at the elite level yet. Give Luisa a chance.

Fazer and Dali are too slow in MF. They use too many touches and stall with too few forward movements, making them easy targets for the defense. And the way Fazer lost the ball to Wilson and then just watched her score…

Ascanio has improved a lot. Her first touches are a thing of beauty. And she seems faster and stronger than last year.

I really like Ludmilla and her energy but her first touches need to get better.

I hope Godfrey don’t get injured after the last play of the first half. Otherwise it doesn’t make sense to pull her.

Byars needs to show more urgency.

Dudinha always brings it. She’s becoming my favorite player.

Mimi is doing well for a rookie. She needs to stop just watching the ball go above her though.

I want to see more of Wynalda.

Five in a row was awesome but we are not that good. A long season ahead.
