Kat Rader is on a tear. The Houston Dash midfielder has been handed the NWSL Rookie of the Month award for August after a stunning run of form that included three goals across the month.
Two of those came in a single outing against Chicago - a performance that underlined just how dangerous the young midfielder has become this season.
Rader's August haul takes her season tally to nine goals, putting her within touching distance of the league's all-time rookie scoring record. She needs just two more to claim it.
Perhaps even more remarkably, one more goal would make her the first Dash player to hit double figures in a single campaign since Rachel Daly managed it back in 2018. That's quite the company to keep.
The award was decided by the NWSL Media Association alongside the league's broadcast team, as confirmed by NWSL.
