Racing 1 Reign 1 Player Ratings
Katie Lund evidently tied a record for most saves in an NWSL match tonight, and every one was needed as Racing came away with a hatd-earned point. The Reign dictated the match, but Racing fought hard to stay in it and KD got her first regular season goal on a fine effort in first half stoppage time.
Lund-8: I'm not sure if she knew about every single one of her 12 saves, but it was a great effort in goal.
Fox-6: Something is off with Fox. It doesn't help that she was injured in the first half and subbed off at halftime, but she hasn't looked quite as dominating as she did early in the season. My gut tells me it is the fatigue of being constantly relied upon by club and country.
Bonner-8: Artwork courtesy of Alex Chidiac.
Murray-7: Looked assured in her first 90 minutes.
Lester-7: I like her at outside back if Murray can be the #2 CB.
DeMelo-6: Once again the numbers are going to point to a better performance, but she got outplayed by the Reign midfield.
Chidiac/Howell-5: Alex had 20 touches and Jae had 28. The rating is more reflective of Racing's decision to pretty much abandon playing through the midfield versus an indictment on their play.
McDonald-6: Has to score on that breakaway or at least get off a shot. Seemed trigger shy tonight as evidenced by her zero shots.
Davis-8: Definitely more effective up the middle in the first half versus out wide in the second. Took her chance excellently.
Milliet-7: Put in a good shift and got a much deserved break in the second half.
