Julie Ertz was voted U.S. Soccer's 2019 Female Player of the Year, beating out FIFA World POTY, Ballon d'Or winner and recipient of SI's Sportsperson Megan Rapinoe.
The 27-year-old midfielder won the award for a second time and aside from Rapinoe the competition was obviously tough, as it included her World Cup winning teammates such as Alex Morgan, Rose Lavelle and Alyssa Naeher.
Ertz, who claims two World Cup winning medals to her name, also became the 10th player to win U.S Soccer's POTY multiple times.
“It’s been a whirlwind of a year and one that I’m extremely grateful for,” said Ertz to the national team's website.
