Gotham FC won their second NWSL Championship on Saturday, with star midfielder Rose Lavelle coming up with an impressive late goal to seal a 1-0 win over the Washington Spirit at San Jose's PayPal Park.
Nobody could be fooled into thinking that Gotham was the best team over the course of the NWSL season. But, on Saturday, the team's stars shone brightest when it counted most.
The NWSL turned to Tiffany & Co. to overhaul its top awards, beginning with new championship and MVP trophies in 2023 and expanding in 2024 with a redesigned Shield.
As Trinity Rodman stood on the touchline at PayPal Park early in the 56th of the NWSL Championship, it was hard not to notice she was giving the audience what they were waiting for. The noise from the sellout crowd swelled, their largest cheer of the night thus far audible despite the cacophony that is the signature of a sports broadcast.
Gotham FC and the Washington Spirit had strong reviews for the Bay Area’s effort as host of the NWSL championship game this week.
