San Diego Wave FC ascended to the summit of the NWSL Power Rankings after a 2-1 victory over Angel City, with DiDi Haracic’s saves and Dudinha’s goal‑creating play anchoring the win. The result snaps the Wave’s two‑match losing streak and cements their position at the league’s apex.

Washington Spirit, meanwhile, preserved a five‑game win streak with a 1-0 triumph over Seattle Reign. Claudia Martínez’s late strike proved decisive, keeping the Spirit’s unbeaten run intact and propelling them to the top of the standings.

Portland Thorns slipped to third after a 3-1 loss to Racing Louisville, exposing defensive frailties despite leading the league in goals. The Thorns’ defensive lapses will demand urgent correction if they hope to stay competitive.

Utah Royals, Bay FC, and Denver Summit FC each secured key points, with Utah extending a seven‑match unbeaten run and Denver snapping a four‑game winless streak. These outcomes will shape the mid‑season battle for playoff positioning.
