NWSL Challenge Cup Preview: July 12 & 13

We’re now heading into the final slate of matches for the preliminary rounds before we enter the Knockout Stage! With five teams all tied for second in the table, all four matches have major implications for seeding throughout the remainder of the Challenge Cup.

With Houston falling to Sky Blue the other night, North Carolina clinched the top-seed for the knockout rounds, sitting alone atop the table with nine points.

Moving down is where it gets interesting, with five teams all in lockstep for the second spot with four points each - Sky Blue, Houston, Utah, OL Reign and Washington.
