The Bridgeport, Conn. native made several great saves including one that came in the 17^th minute off a 25-yard blast from North Carolina Courage midfielder McCall Zerboni. In the 49^th minute, Naeher came off her line to stop a point-blank attempt by Courage forward Crystal Dunn. She also parried away a low driven shot by Courage midfielder Samantha Mewis in the 56^th minute and a spinning half-volley by Dunn in the 66^th minute.

The only shot the Penn State product did not stop was an 82^nd minute strike by North Carolina’s Zerboni from just outside the six-yard box to level the game at 1-1.

The U.S. international played all 90 minutes of the game and set a new club record with 12 saves on 42 shots (15 on goal).

It is the fourth time Naeher has been honored as the NWSL Player of the Week, with her previous accolades in Week 5 of the 2016 season, Week 17 of the 2015 season and Week 18 of the 2014 season. It is the eleventh time a member of the Red Stars has won the award.
