Lisa Carlin and Sandra Herrera continued the "Countdown to Kansas City" series by taking a look back at the 2016 NWSL Final. Then, they welcome in World Cup and multiple NWLS Championship winner Jess McDonald in to revisit that 2016 NWSL Final when she played for the winning side Western New York Flash. She shares stories about the now infamous PK shootout, what life was like in the league back then versus now, and who would win between her 2018/19 NC Courage teams and the 2024 Orlando Pride. And finally, ICYMI: News & Notes. Lisa and Sandra recap yesterday's CONCACAF W Champions Cup matches and preview tonight's match between Frazsiers Whip and Gotham FC, discuss the USL Super League's Spring schedule & playoff format, and Houston's decision to part ways with Head Coach Fran Alonso.
