Washington, D.C. (09/25/2024) – The Washington Spirit’s 2024 season has been nothing short of historic, with several new club and NWSL records already set.

In a season that has drawn record-breaking attendance to Audi Field for premier women’s soccer, the Spirit has delivered nonstop excitement on the pitch. Here are some of the 2024 records set by the Spirit and its players:

- 16: combined assists from Rodman and Croix Bethune, the most from any teammate duo in a single NWSL season
- 14 (and counting): number of different Spirit players with a goal this season, matching the club record
- 14 (and counting): most wins in a single season in club history
- 10: assists by Bethune, tying Tobin Heath for the single season NWSL record
- 7: number of matches remaining when the Spirit clinched a playoff berth, making it the earliest the club has ever done so
- 5 (and counting): most Spirit rookies with a goal in a single season
- 4: number of times Bethune was named the NWSL Rookie of the Month, the most by a single player in league history
- 3: goals created by rookie Makenna Morris in her first career start (goal, assist, drawn penalty on July 6 against Bay FC)
As the Spirit continues its three-match away stretch, it could return home next month having clinched a top four seed and at least one home playoff match.
