At the conclusion of the 2016 NWSL season we asked you to vote for the best individual performances and the most important moments for Seattle Reign FC. Though the season fell short of expectations, there were still a lot of positive memories to reflect on. We received nearly 150 votes; here are the players, performances, and moments that you voted for.
Defensive Player of the Year
While Reign FC’s offense struggled to produce for good portions of the year, the defense was well-organized and disciplined — allowing just 21 goals in 20 matches. And, just as readers have done each time we vote on these awards, you once again rated Lauren Barnes as the most important defensive player on the squad.
