Boyds, MD (April 16, 2018) – Washington Spirit forward Mallory Pugh has been nominated for NWSL Goal of the Week, while goalkeeper Aubrey Bledsoe has earned her third straight nomination for NWSL Save of the Week.

Pugh has now scored in two straight NWSL games, after netting the game-winner in the Spirit’s home opener against the Orlando Pride on March 31.

Bledsoe’s 17th minute save, a leaping effort on a shot by North Carolina’s Crystal Dunn, was one of six in the game for the Spirit goalkeeper. [WATCH]
