Who's hot, who's not? INDIVISA ranks 14 teams across NWSL
It was another weekend of exciting NWSL games, with teams securing playoff spots, and the Orlando Pride earning a home playoff game for the first time in the club's history.
The Pride now are unbeaten in 22 straight games, the Dash got themselves a win for the first time since May, and the Spirit had a tough weekend.
Let's dive into INDIVISA's weekly NWSL power rankings.

Utah Royals have now lost three-straight games, moving them to the last spot in the power rankings. Utah struggled to breakdown Gotham FC, and really only had a few chances on goal to Gotham's 10 shots on frame.
The Royals have a lot of work to do to climb up the league standings, as they currently sit in last place with an overall record of 4-14-3.

Houston Dash are moving up. This past weekend the Dash picked up three points for the first time in months, securing a 1-0 win over Seattle Reign FC.
We can't mention the Dash's performance without including Yuki Nagasato's volley from the top of the box, which will surely be in highlight video across the NWSL for months.
Imagn12San Diego Wave ↔️
The San Diego Wave really tried to ride their wave from the week before, but fell to Chicago in a closely contested match up.
The Wave dominated in chances on goal, 28 shots to Chicago's nine. The Wave also dominated the game's possession, however the early goal conceded was the difference maker.
The Wave will now gear up to face the Thorns on Saturday.

Portland Thorns are in 7th place in the league standings and tied Angel City on Monday night 2-2. The draw was packed with action, with the Thorns having more shots on goal (seven) to Angel City's (four). In the 64th minute it was youngster Olivia Moultrie who scored her fourth of the year after following the service of Kelli Hubly.
The Thorns remain above the playoff line with five games left to go.
