Orlando Pride News Release
ORLANDO, Fla. - The National Women's Soccer League announced today the 11 players named to the Best XI of the Month, presented by Mastercard, for the month of May by the NWSL Media Association and the NWSL's on-air broadcast talent. Orlando Pride defender Kylie Strom was honored on the list, marking the first Best XI of the Month of her NWSL career and the first of such honors for a Pride player this season.
Over the month of May, Strom led all NWSL defenders with three Big Chances created, duels (53) and duels won (29). The Boston University product also totaled 320 touches, 13 clearances and 5 interceptions to go along with her game-winning goal on May 20. That goal at Exploria Stadium led the Pride over the Washington Spirit and handed the visitors their first loss of the 2023 NWSL season.
The NWSL Best XI of the Month is selected each month of the regular season by the NWSL Media Association, a collection of writers that cover the league on a consistent basis, and the NWSL's on-air broadcast talent.
