One of the most impressive performances of the season came from Portland Thorns forward and Nike athlete Sophia Smith. She won the 2023 NWSL Golden Boot for most goals in the season, with a whopping 11 goals from just 16 matches. Moreover, the 23-year-old also missed part of the 2023 NWSL while playing for the U.S. Women’s National Team at the 2023 World Cup. This made her Golden Boot even more palpable for the fans. Apart from this, the season was also one of the most thrilling due to numerous reasons that led to the Golden Globe.
