The Stars Who Lit Up 2024: 5 Players We Can’t Stop Talking About

As we crack open those hobby boxes and relive the magic of 2024, let’s reflect on five standout players who defined the season and made their mark in the league.

Trinity Rodman (Forward, Washington Spirit)

Rodman had a spectacular 2024 season, solidifying her status as one of the most electric forwards in the league. With her unmatched pace and technical skills, she led the Spirit’s attack, scoring 12 goals and providing eight assists. Her ability to deliver in clutch moments made her a key player in Washington’s playoff run.

Sophia Smith (Forward, Portland Thorns)

A fan favorite for a reason, Smith dazzled in 2024 with her goal-scoring prowess. The Thorns star notched 14 goals and was instrumental in leading Portland to another strong season. Her lethal finishing and ability to create chances out of thin air earned her a spot on the Best XI First Team.

Croix Bethune (Midfielder, Washington Spirit)

Bethune’s creativity and vision in the midfield were unmatched. She was the engine behind the Spirit’s dynamic play, registering 10 assists and 5 goals in the 2024 season. Her ability to control the tempo and link up with attackers like Rodman made her a nightmare for opposing defenses.

Ann-Katrin Berger (Goalkeeper, Gotham FC)

A wall between the posts, Berger was a force to be reckoned with for Gotham FC. With 8 clean sheets and countless match-saving performances, she was the backbone of Gotham’s defense. Her leadership and consistency earned her the Goalkeeper of the Year title and a well-deserved spot on the Best XI First Team.

Gisele Thompson (Midfielder, Angel City FC)

At just 18 years old, Gisele Thompson made a significant impact in her rookie season with Angel City FC. She appeared in 15 matches, starting 10, and logged 882 minutes on the field. Known for her defensive prowess and ability to contribute to the attack, Thompson recorded her first NWSL assist on October 20, 2024, in a draw against Utah Royals FC. Her impressive performances earned her a contract extension through 2028, underscoring her value to the team and her bright future in the league.
