The NWSL Media Association announced their picks for the league Team Of The Month for May 2017 earlier today. Their nods for the month’s best XI includes four Red Stars players— more than any other team in the league.
The awards, unsurprisingly, reflect the rock-solid core of the team that went unbeaten in the month of May and rocketed from near the bottom of the table (following a rough start to the season) to second place with a league-best 3-0-1 record. The TotM includes star forward Christen Press, midfielder Danielle Colaprico, and defenders Samantha Johnson and Casey Short.
