The Reign had a host of new talent in 2015. One Scottish defender rose to the top of our list.
In this horrifically long offseason, Ride of the Valkyries has been slowly unveiling the results from our Seattle Reign team awards. Lauren Barnes won Defender of the Year, while Kim Little was named Offensive Player of the Year. Now it's time to unveil the winner for Newcomer of the Year.
Newcomers Amber Brooks, Katrine Veje, Merritt Mathias, and Rachel Corsie all had a significant impact in 2015. While the competition among the top two in this category was fairly tight, Corsie ended up victorious, getting 44.
