1 - The official Bluesky page for Stats Perform's North American soccer coverage, brought to you by OptaJack. Illuminating.
93:39 - Janine Sonis' goal at 93:39 for @denversummitfc.bsky.social on Saturday was the latest direct free-kick winning goal in a regular-season match in #NWSL history. Stamp.
83 - Debinha's goal for @thekccurrent.bsky.social on Saturday was her 83rd for #NWSL teams in all competitions, surpassing Christine Sinclair (82) for second all-time (Lynn Biyendolo - 85). Icon.
3 - On Saturday, @nccourage.com became the second team in #NWSL history to lose a lead of 3+ goals before eventually winning after Seattle Reign vs. Sky Blue in July 2017 (4-0, 4-4, 5-4). Response.
37 - @racingloufc.com has collected 54 points in 44 matches since the start of the 2025 season. Of those, 37 came in the 17 matches in which Emma Sears contributed to a goal (68.5%). Vital.
2 - @sandiegowavefc.com's last two away matches ended a 10-match regular-season home winning streak (2-2 draw at KC Current) and a 5-match regular-season home winning streak (1-0 win at Washington). Streakbusters.
3 - On Sunday, Cloé Lacasse became the eighth player in #NWSL history to record 3+ assists in a match. With those assists, she now holds the @utahroyalsfc.com single-season records for goal contributions (13) and assists (7). Crowns.
1 - Casey Murphy's assist for @bostonlegacyfc.com on Sunday, the fourth by a goalkeeper in a regular-season #NWSL match, came on her first chance created in nearly four years (vs. Chicago in August 2022). Box-to-box.
3 - @reignfc.com's Jess Fishlock has scored three match-winning goals as a substitute since the start of last #NWSL season. No other player has done so more than once in that time. Super.
11 - With their comeback draw on Saturday, @thekccurrent.bsky.social has recovered 11 points from losing positions this season (W3 D2), most in the #NWSL. Scrapping.
7 - @racingloufc.com have collected as many points in their last four matches (7 - W2 D1 L1) as they did in their first 13 matches of the regular season (7 - W2 D1 L10). Signs.
15 - @nccourage.com's Evelyn Ijeh scored her first career #NWSL hat-trick Friday in her 15th regular-season appearance. Only one player in the last decade played fewer games before scoring their first regular-season hat-trick (Cloé Lacasse - 8 games in 2024). Acclimated.
11 - The @washingtonspirit.com have won 11 of their first 17 games of an #NWSL season for the third time (2016, 2024 & 2026), the most such occurrences by any club in NWSL history. Washington reached the NWSL Championship in both 2016 and 2024. Upward.
2 - @thekccurrent.bsky.social's Haley Hopkins and Debinha are the first pair of teammates to score multiple goals in a single regular-season #NWSL match in over two years, since Barbra Banda and Marta did so for Orlando in June 2024. Doubles.
8 - Maja Lardner's brace on Sunday was the eighth regular-season multi-goal game by a @racingloufc.com player with eight different players recording them. Variety.
4 - @washspirit.bsky.social's Trinity Rodman and Sofia Cantore have combined for four goals this season (Rodman➡️Cantore 3x, Cantore➡️Rodman 1x), equaling the most goal/assist connections by any combo in the #NWSL this season. Link.
4 - All four of @utahroyalsfc.com's goals on Saturday were scored on set pieces (incl. penalties), the first #NWSL team on record (since 2016) to score four set-piece goals (incl. penalties) in a single regular season match. Specialists.
8 - @bostonlegacyfc.com is the first #NWSL team to score in eight straight regular-season home matches in their first season since Boston Breakers (11 straight) and Western New York (9 straight) in the league's inaugural 2013 season. Colonies.
3 - @houstondash.com is the second team in #NWSL history to score three stoppage-time winners in a single regular season (Orlando in 2025): April 3 - Sarah Puntigam vs. LOU (98:05) May 23 - Maggie Graham vs. LA (90:26) July 24 - Linda Ullmark vs. BAY (90:23) Dramatic.
+14 - Including Julie Doyle's 88th-minute winner on Friday, @orlpride.com has a +14 goal difference (23 scored, 9 conceded) in the 80th minute and later of regular-season matches since 2024, the highest in the #NWSL over that time. Persistence.
100 - In her #NWSL return today, Lindsey Heaps of @denversummitfc.bsky.social won all six of her aerial duels. The only other NWSL player this season to have 100% success on at least six aerial duels in a match was Evelyn Shores of Angel City on May 23 (7/7). Hops.
90+ - There have been five match-tying goals scored in the 90th minute or later in the #NWSL this season and two of those have been scored by Trinity Byars of @sandiegowavefc.com. Timely.
5 - Gotham FC is the first team to keep clean sheets in five straight meetings with Washington Spirit across all competitions. Impenetrable.
1 - @bostonlegacyfc.com is the first team to win on the road against Orlando during their inaugural #NWSL season. Upset.
6 - @houstondash.com has scored six equalizing goals in the 2026 regular season, including two against Denver on Sunday, tied with Boston for the most in the #NWSL this year. Response.
9 - Cassie Miller is the first goalkeeper to make as many as nine saves in a clean sheet performance for @reignfc.com in a regular-season #NWSL match. Stopper.
