Soccer sensation Delaney Baie Pridham, known as DB, has clinched the prestigious title of Northern Super League Player of the Year. The Ottawa Rapid striker not only secured the league’s Forward of the Year award but also claimed the coveted Golden Boot for scoring the highest number of goals, totaling an impressive 18.
Pridham, a talented athlete with dual Canadian-American citizenship and roots in northern California, dominated the NSL statistics by leading in both total shots with 83 attempts and shots on target with 42 successful strikes. Her remarkable performance included a historic achievement when she netted the league’s first hat trick in June.
Adding to the Rapid’s accolades, Jyllissa Harris was recently honored as the NSL Defender of the Year. Furthermore, Pridham, Harris, along with defender Olivia Scott and midfielder Min A Lee, were all selected for the league’s esteemed “Team of the Year.”
Despite facing stiff competition, the Rapid managed to secure a commendable second-place finish in the league standings, amassing 39 points from 11 wins, eight losses, and six draws in 25 challenging matches. Looking ahead, they are set to clash with the Vancouver Rise in an upcoming home-and-home semifinal series scheduled for next week.
