CHICAGO – Kristen Hamilton has been voted NWSL Player of the Week for Week 8 of the 2019 season by the NWSL Media Association. Hamilton scored in the 59th, 66th and 85th minute, seeing action in all 90 minutes for the first time this season. The goals also marked her first of the season, and a career-first hat trick, ending a four-game winless streak for the Courage.
While Hamilton’s first goal was unassisted, the second goal was assisted by Leah Pruitt, and the third goal was assisted by Jaelene Hinkle.
