Ally Sentnor Named Sports Illustrated’s NWSL MVP of the Month

Ally Sentnor’s dual-footed goalscoring prowess was the star of September for Angel City FC. Between Aug. 31 and Sept. 26, the forward notched four goals and two assists, catapulting the mid-table team into a solid playoff contender, and earning her Sports Illustrated’s Most Valuable Player in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) for the month of September.

“[The team told me] during our morning meeting and film ... I had no idea,” Sentnor tells Sports Illustrated about earning the honor. “They put up [the announcement] as the last slide, and the girls are super great, we celebrate each other so well, and it was so fun to be on the receiving end of that.”
