With 10 minutes left in Sunday's NWSL game between NJ/NY Gotham and the Washington Spirit, McKenna "Mak" Whitham made U.S. soccer history.
The 14-year-old who signed with Gotham last week just before her birthday and became the youngest player to ever play in a top-flight U.S. soccer league. The forward took the field in the 80th minute with Gotham holding a 1-0 lead and played through the end of the Summer Cup game that Gotham won by the same score.
