1. Aubrey Bledsoe (Washington Spirit)
2. Jess Fishlock (Reign FC)
3. Bethany Balcer (Reign FC)
At least one D.C.-area soccer team beat Chicago recently, and Aubrey Bledsoe was impressive enough to ride that to NWSL Player of the Week.

D.C. United will lose two key players during the international break; how many games they miss will be predicated on how well their teams do in the Copa America and the Gold Cup.
Armchair Analyst: The value of a bunker & more from Wednesday night | MLSsoccer.com: Matt Doyle takes us around all of the action from last night as teams try and fit in games before the Gold Cup break.
Lindsey Horan Is Redefining Women’s Soccer | Portland Monthly: Horan is blazing a path that no one in women’s soccer in the US has followed before.
Regarding the new Leagues Cup tournament: .@wclsoccer13 tells me @HoustonDynamo will more than likely use @RGVFC players for the team's july 24 match vs. @ClubAmerica. HOU will be in the midst of playing 15 games in 40 days at that time. @MLS, playoffs clearly take priority.

That’s all I’ve got, what’s up?
