With 3 games in a week, seems that rotation would be wise. How about a back line of McKenzie, Obaze, Perry and Mueller, Harvey at the #6, and Loboa (if she's available), Tordin and Padelski as attackers. Not sure we can rotate Fleming and Moultrie. Maybe Bogere or Renee Lyles can start for Jessie and Deyna (if she's available) or Alidou for Liv. Maybe that's over-rotating, but at least some of these changes would avoid wearing out our starters. Injuries are also more likely in my experience when a player is fatigued. This would be a great time for either Hanks or Weaver to come off SEI.

Full Time (The NYT/Athletic newsletter on women's soccer) reviewed this weekend in the NWSL, ending with: "But the weekend belonged to Sophia Wilson. Her goal against Angel City wasn’t just a 95th-minute match winner. It was a moment. The first in 541 days. The first since stepping away to have her child. The first since returning to a league that rarely slows down for anyone. There’s no soft landing in this league, no easing back in, and yet, there she was, decisive when it mattered. For the Portland Thorns, it was the boost they needed after a shaky postseason, saying goodbye to Sam Coffey and welcoming a new coach in Robert Vilahamn. And perhaps most importantly, for the league, Wilson’s goal was the proof that the pathway back from motherhood is possible, even if it’s rarely straightforward."

It was most definitely a "moment"
