NWSL: Mid-week recaps | Banda's impact in Orlando | Smith's stock rising | Bethune w/ 3 assists (Soccer 05/02)

The MF crew welcome in Attacking Third's Lisa Carlin to recap all of last night's NWSL mid-week action. First up, a look at Barbra Banda and what she has meant to the Orlando Pride upon arrival. The Pride remain undefeated this season after a 4-1 win over NC Courage. Next, a discussion about Sophia Smith, who scored a brace in her match with the Portland Thorns as they hang on to beat Bay FC 3-2 late last night. The group talk about where she sits on the world stage when it comes to top class strikers. It appears the Thorns have turned their season around. And finally, a look at the Washington Spirit's 4-2 win over the Chicago Red Stars lead by rookie Croix Bethune's 3 assists on the night.
