Supported by googlechrome: Lynn Williams is headed to her first World Cup with the USWNT — and for good reason. She is only four tallies short of becoming the NWSL’s all-time leader in goals scored. And she scores at the right time.

At the start of the season, coming back from a hamstring injury and surgery which kept her out for nearly a year, Williams went on a goal-scoring tear. She scored five goals in her first seven regular-season appearances and seven in nine across all competitions. Williams partially credited her success to playing with joy on the field after being out of the game. She says the system Gotham plays helped her grow and should make her transition to the national team easier.

Williams also credits the Gotham system with her higher goal tally and more efficient finishing this year. Data from Opta Analyst shows that Williams is scoring a goal about once every 10 shots. A part of her transition to the national team might involve moving to center forward instead of her usual position on the right. When asked who would back up, Andonovski told reporters the coaching staff is comfortable with the abilities of all the forwards, mentioning Williams, Smith and Rodman all playing the position for their NWSL clubs.
