Canadians chase championship glory in NWSL Challenge Cup final. MORE:
The Portland Thorns and Sky Blue FC saw their Cinderella runs end at the hands of the Houston Dash and Chicago Red Stars respectively.
The Red Stars head into the final despite an injury-filled tournament, with Yuki Nagasato, Morgan Gautrat, Casey Short and Tierna Davidson all having missed time. The Dash have been inconsistent, looking like both a dangerous offensive threat and a side that struggles to put it all together. For the Canadians on the Dash, forward Nichelle Prince had another strong game and was arguably the best player in the semifinal. While she didn’t get on the scoresheet, Prince consistently created quality chances with her speed. Allysha Chapman and Sophie Schmidt played the full 90 again as they’ve continued to log heavy minutes in the starting lineup.
