Having played every single minute of the season thus far, DF Becky Sauerbrunn has been chosen to the NWSL Team of the Month for the second month in a row. Her stellar performances against the Chicago Red Stars, N.C. Courage, and Portland Thorns FC have qualified Sauerbrunn to an elite group of women.
Sauerbrunn, who also registers over 130 appearances and a FIFA Women’s World Cup championship with the USWNT, is one of five players whose names appeared in the NWSL’s chosen eleven for both March and April. Included are some of Sauerbrunn’s national team members, such as DF Emily Sonnett (Portland Thorns FC), FW Mallory Pugh (Washington Spirit), MF Crystal Dunn (North Carolina Courage), and DF Jaelene Hinkle (North Carolina Courage).
