Portland took on North Carolina and won. Chicago and Sky Blue fought to a draw. That combined with a Seattle draw means it was as about as good of a week that Portland could have asked for. They launched up the standings but did they do the same in the power rankings?
Orlando and Houston are also showing signs of life while time left in the regular season quickly evaporates.
Things have gotten even worse for Kansas City, who got rocked at Orlando this past weekend. If the backline has an off game there’s just no shot for the Blues.
