One of the first major team sports to restart in 2020 was the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) with a tournament in a Utah bubble for player safety. After a four-game round robin, the NWSL Challenge Cup tournament commenced and a surprise winner was crowned. The Houston Dash, not considered a favorite, came through in the clutch behind the solid goalkeeping of Jane Campbell who didn't allow a goal in the three tournament games and had a clutch stop in the quarterfinals during a PK shootout. She turned away all six shots in the semifinals and finals to enable 1-0 (vs. Portland Thorns) and 2-0 (vs. Chicago Red Stars) wins respectively. She had no room for error. Throughout the tournament she led the league with 21 saves and four shutouts. A deserving champion and great goalkeeper. The Longhorndave Sportswoman of the Week!
