NEW YORK (July 3, 2025) - The National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) announced today that Gotham FC forward Esther González has been named the Player of the Month, presented by EA SPORTS, for the month of June by the NWSL Media Association and the league’s on-air broadcast talent.

González scored three goals in June, giving her sole possession of the No. 1 spot in the Golden Boot race with 10 goals on the year. With two goals against the Utah Royals, González earned her fourth brace of the season. Her tenth goal of the season came in a 2-1 win over Bay FC heading into the international break.

With her 10 goals, González has scored more than half of Gotham’s total goals (16) this season. This is the second time this season González has earned Player of the Month honors, after scoring seven goals in April.

The NWSL Player of the Month, presented by EA SPORTS, is selected by the NWSL Media Association, a collection of writers that cover the league consistently, and the NWSL’s on-air broadcast talent. Awards for the month of June are based on performances during regular season matches.
