Katie Johnson also rumored to be going to Mexico:

TUDN commentators again mentioning rumors of Ovalle to Houston Dash. Mention how big it would be to have a player from Liga MX Femenil break through to NWSL. They also mention Katie Johnson with a rumor that’s tying her to Tigres Femenil. #BRAMEX #TriFemEng #NWSL

W-League Team of the Week:

Emily Menges (Melbourne Victory)

There was a reason why it took Melbourne City almost 90 minutes to get their winner…and her name is Emily Menges.

The American was outstanding in her side’s 1-0 loss on Thursday night, winning 100% of her tackles, seven clearances and two interceptions is a resolute display alongside Westfield Matildas star Jenna McCormick.

Simone Charley (Canberra United)

The American continues to thrill Westfield W-League fans with her eye-catching displays, producing another one in the draw with the Glory.

Not only did Charley score her side’s goal – her third for the campaign against Perth – but she had four shots and was the visitors’ most threatening player.

Also worked hard at the other end for her side, involved in 15 duels and making three clearances and two interceptions.
