Ashley Sanchez is having the season of her life. With 15 goals to her name, the Courage forward sits atop the NWSL scoring charts - and she's not done yet.
It's a staggering leap from a player whose previous career best was just five goals, set during her rookie campaign with Washington Spirit back in 2020. This time around, she's tripled that tally and then some.
Sanchez has smashed the Courage's single-season scoring record, eclipsing the mark previously set by Lynn Biyendolo. She's also drawn level with Crystal Dunn and Alex Morgan for the most goals by an American player in an NWSL season - rarefied company, to say the least.
Four braces in one campaign ties yet another league record. It's the kind of form that demands attention.
What makes Sanchez's impact even more impressive is the ripple effect. Opposing defences are throwing double teams at her, which has freed up space for teammates - most notably Evelyn Ijeh, who has capitalised with 10 goals of her own.
Together, the pair have kept the Courage firmly in playoff contention, as OneFootball reports.
Numbers like these don't go unnoticed. Sanchez's electric form has put her squarely in the conversation for USWNT selection and could well influence upcoming contract negotiations. For a player once content with modest returns, this has been a transformative year.
