The final weekend of the 2026 NWSL regular season, Decision Day, has begun. After this period's league matches, Attacking Third analysts selected the players, head coach and honorary captain who delivered the week's best performances.
Gotham FC's pursuit of the NWSL Shield was helped by goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger. Facing 19 shots against Orlando Pride, Berger kept her goal intact and secured a crucial win for her team. Tierna Davidson scored again with a header, netting the winning goal.
At Angel City, Evelyn Shores was effective in defense and in build-up play. She won seven duels in this match, made two saves and supported the defense with two interventions. At Denver Summit, Janine Sonis contributed two assists to her team's effort, while Kaleigh Kurtz scored her first goal of the league season.
Canadian midfielder Jessie Fleming was one of the most important figures for a squad missing key players due to injuries and a suspension.
