Women's Soccer

NWSL player Carson Pickett plays for the Orlando Pride and shows her pride each and every game both on and off the field. She does not only stand out for her play, but she was a born with a birth defect, which caused her to not have a left forearm and hand.

Despite her minor difference she did not let it hold her back from chasing her dreams and allowing others with similar qualities to be proud of who they are and to follow their dreams. 

Following Match Day 7 of the Barclays FA Women’s Super League, Chelsea remains at the top of the table after a 6-0 hammering of Birmingham City on Sunday. The star of the show for the Blues was Bethany England, who scored a brace to move to the top of the goalscoring charts with four goals so far.

Dawn Scott is leaving the USWNT after nine years as the head strength and fitness coach, leaving the U.S. for the England national team.

I like bourbon as much as the next person. I quite like it with smoked orange bitters, agave syrup and Meyer lemon juice. But I don’t get this Proof Louisville FC name.

The new NWSL expansion team in Kentucky has a name, and we’re not sure what to do with it. It’s just weird, which can be good, but also it’s weird, which can be bad.

On Tuesday, reports surfaced that trademark filings were made for NWSL’s 10th team, along with a logo.
