Murphy made an immediate impact this weekend with a free kick goal from nearly half field. This strike highlighted not just her set piece ability but also her power and precision from distance. The shot found the top of the net, well out of the goalkeeper’s reach. She was a key distributor for her team during their six-point weekend. More specifically, she helped secure the win against Atlanta Fire United. Defensively, she remains steady at the back. Offensively, she has shown she can change the game with a single moment. Murphy is a defender to keep on the radar as the season unfolds.
