Chawinga Makes NWSL History with Second MVP

Kansas City Current forward Temwa Chawinga has etched her name in NWSL history by clinching her second consecutive Most Valuable Player award. This remarkable feat makes her the first player in the league's 12-season history to achieve back-to-back MVP honors. The prestigious award was presented at the league's inaugural formal awards ceremony.

Chawinga's dominance extended to the scoring charts, as she also earned the Golden Boot for the second year in a row. Her 15-goal tally this season follows a record-setting 20-goal performance last year. Only Sam Kerr has previously won multiple MVP awards, highlighting Chawinga's exceptional performance.

In other notable awards, Bev Yanez was named NWSL Coach of the Year for guiding Racing Louisville to their best-ever season and a playoff berth. Yanez's accomplishment is particularly significant as she is the first former NWSL player to receive the coaching award, overcoming strong competition.
