North Carolina Courage striker Evelyn Ijeh has been crowned NWSL MVP of the Month for August after a scorching run of form that yielded four goals and an assist.
The Swedish forward's purple patch included a brace against the Washington Spirit - but her headline moment actually arrived on 31 July, when she became the first Swedish player in NWSL history to bag a hat trick, doing so against Orlando Pride.
By the close of August, Ijeh had racked up 11 goals for the season - enough to tie for third-most by a European player in a single NWSL campaign, Sports Illustrated reports.
Together with teammate Ashley Sanchez, the pair have combined for 26 goals this term - a new NWSL record for a duo at the same club.
Despite these individual heroics, the Courage sit ninth in the standings, just a single point adrift of a playoff berth with four matches left to play. Ijeh's form could prove the difference between a post-season place and an early finish.
