About this episode

Ali Riley and Kelley O’Hara discuss the current NWSL standings, fan atmospheres, and share personal Mother's Day memories.

Ali Riley & Kelley O’Hara take a look at the NWSL table now that we’re 9 games into the season. Spirit are riding a 5 game winning streak, Sophia Wilson and Olivia Moultrie have Portland at the top of the table, and Utah stands out as the surprise in the top 8. On the other end is Angel City in panic mode after dropping 4 straight, should North Carolina worry, and what happened to Denver’s defense? Then we get into what builds the best fan atmosphere and who has the BEST fans in the NWSL. Plus shoutout to Bev, Karen, and all the other moms out there. Kelley and Ali share touching memories they’ve shared with their moms. This episode is presented by Amazon Prime.
