Colorado’s Kennedy McCarthy earns Week 9 Player of the Week honors after delivering another all-around performance: 5 goals, 3 assists, 416 total yards, and just 0.5 turns in a dominant showing that further cemented their breakout season. Now the playoff picture tightens heading into Week 10. Seattle Tempest, San Diego Super Bloom, Bay Area Falcons and Colorado Alpenglow all have a chance to clinch their spot in the championships this weekend, while Arizona Sidewinders and Oregon Soar fight to stay in the conversation.

Colorado Alpenglow, Bay Area Falcons, and San Diego Super Bloom all earned massive Week 9 wins, tightening the Championship Weekend race heading into Week 10. Seattle, San Diego, Colorado and Bay can all clinch playoff spots during Week 10, while Oregon Soar and Arizona Sidewinders are fighting to keep their seasons alive.

LA’s Sabrina Belkin earns Week 8 Player of the Week honors after helping power Los Angeles Astra’s furious comeback push against San Diego, finishing among the league leaders in both assists and throwing yards. Now the focus shifts to a massive Week 9 slate. Seattle Tempest can become the first team to clinch a Championship Weekend berth with a win over San Diego Super Bloom, while Super Bloom can secure the same spot with a victory over Seattle and a Bay Area loss.

Oregon grabbed a crucial 19-16 win over a short-handed Arizona squad, keeping Soar firmly in the playoff hunt and tightening an already crowded postseason race. Meanwhile, San Diego barely escaped Los Angeles in one of the season’s wildest finishes, surviving Astra’s furious fourth-quarter comeback attempt to hold on for an 18-17 victory. With only a few weeks remaining before Championship Weekend, every result is starting to feel heavier — and Week 8 proved no lead and no playoff spot is safe.
