The Portland Thorns went undefeated during the month of June— and so of course the player honors and accolades followed.
As selected by the NWSL Media Association, the league announced today the Best XI players for the month of June, along with Player of the Month and Rookie of the Month, and there was strong representation from the Rose City on the list. Sophia Smith, Sam Coffey, Bella Bixby, and Natalia Kuikka were all named to the June Best XI, with Smith and Coffey both earning individual awards.
Sophia Smith headlines the accolades by being named the NWSL Player of the Month for the month of June.
