With two World Cups and an Olympic gold medal, U.S. women's national team defender Kelly O'Hara is no stranger to the big stage. On Saturday, she added an NWSL championship to her accolades with the Washington Spirit's 2–1 extra-time win over the Chicago Red Stars.
After a tense 90 minutes wasn't enough to decide a champion, O'Hara took it upon herself in extra time in the 97th minute to score the deciding goal. Taking a long, looping cross from Trinity Rodman, O'Hara sent a clinical header across goal to clinch the Spirit's first NWSL title.
With the goal, the 33-year-old became the oldest player to score in an NWSL championship match.
