The NWSL MVP race is becoming increasingly competitive as the league reaches the midpoint of its season. ESPN's MVP Tracker highlights a blend of established players and newcomers, such as rookie Tiernan, who has surged into third place in scoring. Her remarkable journey from a non-roster invitee to a top scorer underscores her skill and potential. Meanwhile, Coffey, a defensive midfielder, is also gaining recognition for her impressive all-around gameplay. The evolving dynamics of the MVP race are of great interest as injuries and performances impact player rankings.
"A rookie tied for third in the league in scoring? In this economy?! More seriously: Tiernan might be the best story in the NWSL this season."
"Yes, Tiernan is a 'goal poacher,' but her most recent goal against Racing Louisville showed a level of sophistication and technique to score from distance."
"Defensive midfielders don't get a lot of love, but Coffey has managed to turn heads for club and country with her composed two-way play."
