Washington Spirit midfielder Croix Bethune was named the 2024 NWSL Rookie of the Year on Tuesday.
Bethune, 23, tallied five goals and 10 assists in just 17 matches before a season-ending knee injury.
Drafted third overall last January, Bethune also earned a spot on the NWSL Best XI first team this season.
On May 1 against the Chicago Red Stars, she became the fourth player in NWSL history with three assists in a game.
Bethune joined Trinity Rodman (2021) as the second Spirit player to claim Rookie of the Year honors.
Bethune’s big year also included a gold medal at the Paris Olympics with the U.S. women’s national team.
