Three Houston Dash players earned awards from their respective W-League teams after successful campaigns in Australia over the offseason. Clare Polkinghorne was named Player of the Year for Brisbane Roar, while Amber Brooks and Veronica Latsko took home Player of the Year and Golden Boot honors, respectively, for Adelaide United.
Polkinghorne captained Brisbane to their second consecutive top-two finish in the W-League, anchoring one of the tightest defenses in the league. The Australian international started 13 games for her hometown club, winning two-thirds of her duels and completing 75% of her passes throughout the season.
