Ashley Sanchez is on an absolute tear. The North Carolina Courage forward has been crowned NWSL Player of the Month for September after rattling in five goals across just four matches - a run of form that has her name etched alongside the league's all-time greats.
It started with a statement. Sanchez bagged a hat trick as the Courage dismantled Chicago 6-0, setting the tone for a breathless September. A further strike against San Diego kept the momentum rolling, before the forward delivered the headline moment - a goal in Utah that tied the NWSL single-season scoring record, taking her tally to 20 for the campaign, NWSL reports.
The monthly honour is voted on by the NWSL Media Association, a panel of writers and broadcasters who cover the league on a regular basis. Only regular-season performances are considered. On this occasion, it was a straightforward pick.
