Christine Sinclair, Lynn Williams reach 60 career NWSL goals

Christine Sinclair and Lynn Williams both scored their 60th career NWSL goals on Saturday to remain tied for second most goals in NWSL history. Only Sam Kerr — who played in the NWSL from 2013-19 — has more (77).

Sinclair’s 60th goal came just two minutes into the Portland Thorns’ 2-0 win over Racing Louisville. Sinclair, who has played with the Thorns since the NWSL launched in 2013, reached the 60-goal mark in her 160th career match.

WHAT A LEGEND!

More than 2,400 miles away — and following a two-hour lightning delay — Williams equaled Sinclair’s mark by scoring in the 80th minute of Gotham’s 1-0 win over the North Carolina Courage. Williams, who was drafted into the NWSL in 2015 and was traded to Gotham ahead of the 2023 NWSL season, scored off a pass from Yazmeen Ryan.
