"The 23-year-old scored her first goal of the game in the 18th minute and had a hat-trick by the 36th. Trinity Rodman set up two of her strikes, while the other was a rebound from her own header off a Croix Bethune ball. Monday has played a bit-part role for the Spirit this season. However, her role in the drubbing of the Dash is a sign that she is likely to become more central going forward."
"Chawinga scored for the Current in September's wins over Bay FC, Seattle Reign, and Chicago Stars. The Malawi star also picked up an assist against the Stars in the 4-1 win and now has 14 goals for the season - one more than Gotham FC's Esther González. The Current have secured the top seed for the playoffs. They lead the NWSL by 16 points with four regular season matches left to play."
Gift Monday scored the fastest hat-trick in NWSL history in Washington Spirit's 4-0 win over Houston Dash, reaching three goals by the 36th minute. Trinity Rodman created two of her strikes and a rebound from Monday's header off a Croix Bethune ball produced another. Monday was a surprise exclusion from Nigeria's WAFCON squad but now looks likely to become more central for the Spirit. Temwa Chawinga has 14 goals, leads the Golden Boot race, and helped Kansas City Current secure the NWSL top seed with a 16-point lead. Racheal Kundananji and Chiamaka Nnadozie also delivered significant performances for Bay FC and Brighton & Hove Albion respectively.
