Sky Blue FC defender Kelley O’Hara was named to the NWSL September Team of the Month, as voted on by the NWSL Media Association. She was one of four defenders honored with the award, which sets out to acknowledge the league’s best XI players each month. It is the first time O’Hara has been named to a team of the month.
The versatile defender was named to the Team of the Month days after an impressive performance in the team’s 4-3 win over Boston in their season finale. She was integral on both sides of the ball for Sky Blue, pushing high into the attack from her spot on the backline to aid the offense in their comeback.
