Sophia Smith has spent roughly half of the NWSL's entire existence as its prophesied future. She earned the weighty title as a talented teen, and carried it with her through high school, to college. She arrived in the pros just two short seasons ago carrying unprecedented expectations; she would, so many assumed, become a Golden Boot winner and U.S. national team star.
Smith entered the year as a still-very-promising 21-year-old. She was already a national teamer, but five Thorns players had made the, and Smith hadn't been one of them. She was a piece of a superteam — until, from the outset of the 2022 season, she became something far more.
She scored early and often, and especially often in June. She scored in the league and in the NWSL Challenge Cup. She scored for the national team in World Cup qualifying and against England at Wembley. She scored 28 goals in total.this year. Her presence created Portland's second goal on Saturday at Audi Field. Her quickness and confidence nearly created more. And at 10:06 p.m., with her teammates spilling onto the field, she became an NWSL champion.
