NWSL newcomer Croix Bethune is rapidly gaining widespread recognition. The 23-year-old midfielder for the Spirit has already achieved two records in her debut season. Firstly, she became the quickest player in NWSL history to reach eight assists, accomplishing this feat in just 11 games. Last Sunday, she equaled Tobin Heath's single-season record of 10 assists, with five of those setting up Ouleymata Sarr, making them the most productive duo since Yuki Nagasato and Sam Kerr in 2019. Bethune has also showcased her skills with three impressive assists, including a heel pass, against the Chicago Red Stars earlier this season. Additionally, she has scored five goals, placing her among the top 10 scorers in the league. The Washington Spirit currently holds second place in the table with 37 points, making them a formidable team this season. Bethune's exceptional performance has also earned her a place on the USWNT roster for the summer, following her success as an Olympic gold medalist. She has made a significant impact both on and off the field, with her unique fashion choices and trendsetting style. With five games remaining in the NWSL season, Bethune is on track to break the single-season record for most assists and is a strong contender for Rookie of the Year. As a former USC Trojan and Georgia Bulldog, she is making a significant impact in the NWSL. Good luck to anyone trying to stop her, both on and off the pitch.
