Ashley Sanchez’s remarkable 2026 National Women’s Soccer League season has reached another milestone.

The North Carolina Courage star scored three times in a 6-0 win over the Chicago Stars on Sunday, taking her season total to 18 goals and making her the American single-season scoring record holder in the NWSL.

Barring injury, it’s hard to imagine her not scoring two more this season in the form she’s been in

Sanchez now has her sights set on an even bigger mark. Temwa Chawinga’s NWSL record of 20 goals, set in 2024, is just two goals away. With the Courage still having seven regular-season matches to play, Sanchez has plenty of time to take sole possession of the league record too.
