Who's hot, who's not? INDIVISA ranks all 14 teams across the National Women's Soccer League
The NWSL atmosphere was electric over the weekend, with the Kansas City Current taking care of business once again and 2024 Golden Boot winner Temwa Chawinga breaking another record.
Chawinga's 52nd-minute goal against the Pride was not only the game-winning finish, but also earned her the nod as the fastest NWSL player to score 25 career goals. The Current are still in first place in the league standings, with San Diego Wave trailing not far behind.
It's currently a four-way tie for second place in the Golden Boot race, with Gotham FC's Esther Gonzalez leading the way with seven goals. Just behind her, Ashley Hatch, Debinha, Temwa Chawinga, and Riley Tiernan all have five each.
So, who's leading the pack, and who's falling short of expectations? INDIVISA presents the latest 2025 NWSL Power Rankings.

Prior Ranking: 13
Result: Lost 2-0 to North Carolina Courage
Ramifications: The Chicago Stars suffered another loss, dropping their record to 1-7-1, and sitting in last place. The Stars have struggled all season to compete on both sides of the ball. Defensively, they've conceded a league-worst 19 goals and have only scored five goals all season.

Prior Ranking: 14
Result: Drew Washington Spirit 3-3
Ramifications: Earning a point on the road at Audi Field was a strong result for Utah, which sit just above the Stars in the league standings with a 1-6-2 record. The Royals managed to get three goals, scoring first against a strong Washington Spirit side. The game went back-and-fourth through the final minutes, and this was a different Royals side than we've seen all season.

Prior Ranking: 11
Result: Lost to Portland Thorns 4-1
Ramifications: The Houston Dash fall this week after conceding four goals against the Thorns. It was a defensive nightmare for the Dash, wich struggled to possess and stop the Thorns from breaking through each line. The Dash are in 12th place in the league standings and have a lot of work to do to get above the playoff line.

Prior Ranking: 10
Result: Lost to Seattle Reign 1-0
Ramifications: The scoring power that we saw from Racing Louisville was hardly present against Seattle this. Louisville managed to play the Reign to a fairly even game, dominating the possession and even taking 20 shots to the Reign's four – however only one shot was actually on frame.
