NWSL Women - Challenge Cup top scorers explained
The NWSL Women - Challenge Cup top scorers chart ranks every player by total goals scored in the 2025/26 campaign of USA's top flight. Penalties and open-play goals count equally, while own goals are excluded, in line with how the official Golden Boot is awarded at the end of the season. Rafaelle Souza currently leads the race with 1 goal.
Each row also reports appearances (App), total minutes on the pitch (Min) and assists, so you can judge a striker's efficiency, not just their raw output. A player who scores fewer goals in significantly fewer minutes can be just as valuable as a higher-volume scorer — useful context for fantasy football managers, bettors and scouts alike.
