What a wild NWSL Championship final to close out the season. Unfortunately, it didn’t include the Chicago Red Stars, but it was a match that didn’t leave out any anxious moments for NWSL fans. The North Carolina Courage and Portland Thorns battled to a 0-1 scoreline that saw the Rose City crowned champions of 2017.
The drama of the final wasn’t without buildup, and luckily, we were fortunate to be part of the action on the ground in Orlando for the NWSL Championship to catch up with NC Courage MVP and 2017 NWSL MVP finalist Samantha Mewis, and NWSL Best XI midfielder McCall Zerboni.
