Amanda West scored in the 71st minute to allow the host Houston Dash to come away with a 1-1 draw against the Kansas City Current on Sunday.
West found the back of the net after Houston (1-3-3, six points) had plenty of time to mull over a 1-0 deficit, as the match was suspended for four hours due to inclement weather.
Temwa Chawinga put Kansas City (5-0-2, 17 points) in front with a goal in the 24th minute, but the Current struggled to get past Dash goalkeeper Jane Campbell for the remainder of the match. Campbell finished with 12 saves, matching a NWSL regular-season, single-match record, according to OptaJack.
Campbell was especially strong in the match’s waning moments, turning away Claire Hutton in the second minute of second-half stoppage time before preventing Michelle Cooper from scoring four minutes later.
Pride 1, Racing Louisville 0
Orlando got a goal from Barbra Banda early in the first half and never looked back to blank visiting Louisville.
Banda scored in the 17th minute as the Pride (5-0-3, 18 points) jumped to the top of the standings thanks to their fifth straight win.
After Banda put a shot past her, Racing Louisville goalkeeper Katie Lund buckled down, keeping the visitors close by stopping another Banda attempt in the second minute of first-half stoppage time.
Red Stars 2, Bay FC 1
Chicago overcame an early conceded goal to score twice and take a one-goal victory over its San Francisco-based counterpart.
Penelope Hocking tied the score for the Red Stars in the 30th minute, taking an assist from Sam Staab and scoring right up the middle. Teammate Ally Schlegel gave Chicago (4-3-1, 13 points) the lead in the 63rd minute, scoring from outside the box and finding the bottom left corner of the goal.
In the eighth minute, Tess Boade gave Bay FC (2-6-0, 6 points) a quick 1-0 lead, putting the ball into the net in the bottom right corner.
But with a chance to equalize, Deyna Castellanos missed to the right from the center of the box in the 90th minute.
