Another wild week of women’s soccer from the United States and England has led to some incredible moments across the board. Whether it’s the college game, the NWSL, or the Championship, everyone is playing at a high level, which highlights how the game continues to grow at a rapid pace. Without further ado, let’s take a look at the Top 5 Goals from the NWSL Matchday 18, Barclays Women’s Championship, and NCAA Soccer Week 3.

The Championship gets an entire month in the spotlight before the FA WSL returns in October. The players are showing the gap between the two leagues isn’t as big as people might think. The quality from Mary McAteer is on full display here.
This ball must’ve gone at least ten feet in the air before coming down, making it a high degree of difficulty to hit on the volley. McAteer’s technique was sublime, keeping her knee over the ball and firing it into the far corner. What a finish from the 19-year-old Sunderland striker.
4. Nya Harrison – Stanford Cardinals
