The NWSL revealed the 2022 NWSL Best XI and Second XI on Tuesday, and three San Diego Wave FC players were honored with Best XI selections, in forward Alex Morgan, defender Naomi Girma and goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan.
San Diego had the most players selected to the Best XI, voted on by players, team owners, coaches and GMs, media (full disclosure: I was part of the media voting panel) and fans.
Morgan had a career year on the club level, impressive for a player of her resumé, as she won the NWSL Golden Boot as the regular season top scorer and tallied 20 goals across all competitions for Wave FC, leading the line with aplomb.
