NWSL Challenge Cup Semifinal Recap: Washington Spirit & North Carolina Courage Advance to Cup Final (Soccer 5/5)

Sandra Herrera and Lisa Roman recap the NWSL Challenge Cup Semifinal games #1 seed OL Reign vs #4 seed Washington Spirit end in a thrilling sudden death PK shootout. After 90 minutes of a scoreless battle, Aubrey Kingsbury and Fallon Tullis-Joyce, goalkeepers for Spirit and Reign respectively, are put to the test in net. After burying just the third PK, Kingsbury makes two stops to lift Washington to the Challenge Cup Final. Then, #2 KC Current vs #3 NC Courage features a rainy evening at Children's Mercy Park. It's the dynamic Brazilin duo of Debhina and Kerolin that become showstoppers for Courage. The Rookie Ordonez nets her first NWSL goal to lift North Carolina 2-1 over Kansas City. Full recaps, analysis and more.
