Portland 2 Louisville 0 Player Ratings

The story was one team making deliberately simple passes to score and the other making speculative passes and giving the ball away.

Lund-6: Had another good double save. Could do nothing on the goals.

Pickett-5: Wasn't her normal self in her delivery. Picked up a late card to stop a Portland counter.

Erceg-5: Put in bad spots on both goals.

Holloway-5: All over the place in her defending. Lester surely is the better option here.

Milliet-5: Not involved defensively in the goals due to the team being out of formation. Both she and Holloway are lucky the 3rd goal was ruled out.

Howell-5: (The Fotmob numbers are going to lie on these next 3 players. I downgraded the unit by 2 points because they were so clearly outplayed by Portland, especially in the first 60 minutes.) She had a decent headed shot on target, but was oddly negative in some of the build up play, passing the ball backwards when a forward pass wasn't risky.

Borges-5: For the first time, looked a bit overmatched. Still got off some good chances late.

DeMelo-5: Put in what normally would be a 7, but has to connect with her teammates better.

Wang-5: Looked off the pace. Gave the ball away in a bad spot for the 2nd goal.

Davis-6. Needed better service and not the overly hopeful passes that were played into her.

McDonald-5: Didn't contribute much in her 58 minutes.
