While most of the attention on the Americas has been focused on the National Women’s Soccer League in the United States, Karina Santana had a great game for Suva Sports in Costa Rica, giving the previously winless club their first of the season thanks to her goal in the 22nd minute. And while some NWSL teams (and the teams in Guatemala where Perla Morones and Verónica Jiménez play) were off, there were other games played that included Mexicanas Abroad in the Americas.
Primera División Femenina (Costa Rica)
