Week 11 recaps and scoring summaries

Week 11 is now complete.

(Note for posterity: The Sunday post was late because this writer was enjoying the French Open Men's Championship, which was breathtaking. Alcaraz outlasted Sinner in 5 sets, in the second longest open-era grand slam match ever played. Or some historical note like that this is a soccer blog.)

Racing Louisville FC vs. Utah Royals FC Racing Louisville, 3-2.

Lynn Family Stadium on Paramount+ / NWSL+ at 7:30 p.m.

Brecken Mozingo (3' unassisted) scored early following a deflected attempt and Bianca St-Georges added a goal (31' assist to Del Fava) for Utah, but it wasn't enough as Racing Louisville got goals from Emma Sears (9' assist O'Kane), Ellie Jean (26' assist Sonis, from a corner) and a header by Sarah Webber (85' assist, a cross, from Petersen) to escape with three points from the win.

San Diego Wave FC vs. Seattle Reign FC Reign, 2-1.

Snapdragon Stadium on Prime Video at 10:00 p.m.

The scoring didn't start until the second half, when Salli Menti (67' assist by Barnes) scored for Seattle and the lead didn't last too long as Delphine Cascarino (75' assist to Sánchez who crossed it in off a corner) equalized. But, Seattle wrestled the lead back and was able to keep it off the game-winner from Emeri Adames (87' from Fishlock) on a fast-break opportunity.

Gotham FC vs. Kansas City Current Current, 2-1.

Sports Illustrated Stadium on CBS at 1:00 p.m.

Kansas City got goals in the first 15 minutes of action from MIchelle Cooper (3' from Chawinga) and Temwa Chawinga (11' from Cooper's cross, assist) and then held on to win. The goal for Gotham was a meaningless own goal by Vanessa DiBernardo (90+11') and the Current keep their top spot on the table with the three points.

Orlando Pride vs. Houston Dash Orlando, 1-0.

Inter&Co Stadium on NWSL+ a5 7:00 p.m.

Bay FC vs. Portland Thorns FC Bay, 1-0.

PayPal Park on ION at 7:30 p.m.

Alyssa Malonson's goal (39' from Hocking) was all Bay would need as the teams played even the rest of the match.

Angel City FC vs. Chicago Stars FC Draw, 2-2.

BMO Stadium on ION at 10:00 p.m.

After Kennedy Fuller (29' unassisted) put Angel City on the board early, Chicago responded and took the lead on a pair of goals, by Nádia Gomes (58' unassisted) and by Ally Schlegel (66' from López) and it seemed like Chicago was going to claim the win. But, M.A. Vignola's (80' unassisted) tenacity, she had three shots beginning at 76' before finally knocking one in, leveled the match and the teams share a point with the draw.

While Manaka Matsukubo's goal in the 32nd minute gave the Courage a bit of a spark, a second-half score from Gift Monday (58' ) sealed the win and earn three points to close out Week 11 action in the NWSL.
