The end of the MLS and NWSL seasons means it is once again time to look back on the year and award the performances and moments that stood out to us. We’re changing things up slightly this year — voting on both the Sounders and Reign awards will be together in the same posts. You can continue to vote for just one team’s awards if you feel insufficiently informed to vote for both.
Next up is the Defensive Player of the Year. For the first time, Sounder at Heart and Ride of the Valkyries are combing the voting this year.
