Gotham FC have claimed their maiden NWSL Shield after wrapping up the regular season on 61 points, seeing off Utah Royals 2-0 on the final day. It caps a stellar campaign for a side that has often flattered to deceive in previous years.
San Diego Wave (58 points) and Washington Spirit (55) rounded out the top three, while Kansas City Current, Angel City FC, Portland Thorns, and Utah Royals also booked their spots in the playoffs.
Seattle Reign grabbed the eighth and final berth with a 1-0 victory over Orlando Pride - a result that knocked both North Carolina Courage and Denver Summit out of the running, as Footeuses reports.
Ashley Sanchez of North Carolina Courage scooped the Golden Boot with 20 goals, equalling the all-time regular-season record. Croix Bethune went one better, breaking Tobin Heath's assists mark outright with 11.
In goal, Kailen Sheridan passed 700 career saves - only the third NWSL keeper to reach that milestone - while Sandy MacIver earned the Golden Glove courtesy of 12 clean sheets for Washington Spirit.
The post-season gets underway between 6 and 8 November. San Diego Wave host Utah Royals, Kansas City Current welcome Angel City, Gotham FC take on Seattle Reign, and Washington Spirit face Portland Thorns. Semi-finals follow on 14-15 November, with the final pencilled in for 21-22 November at Audi Field in Washington D.C.
