Bay FC goalkeeper Jordan Silkowitz has secured a nomination for the NWSL Goalkeeper of the Year award, cementing her status as one of the league’s elite shot-stoppers. The 29-year-old joins Ann-Katrin Berger of NJ/NY Gotham FC and Jane Campbell of Houston Dash in a competitive three-way race for the prestigious individual honor. This nomination recognizes Silkowitz’s consistent performance between the posts throughout the season, where she provided crucial stability for Bay FC’s defensive line.

Silkowitz’s case for the award is backed by exceptional statistical output, most notably recording 115 saves in a single season. This feat places her second on the all-time list for most saves in a season and makes her only the seventh goalkeeper in NWSL history to reach the 100-save milestone. Her ability to consistently deny goals and command her box has been a defining factor in Bay FC’s campaign, showcasing a blend of reflexive agility and strategic positioning that sets her apart from her peers.
Fans have until 5 p.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday, November 11, to cast their votes in the selection process. The official winner will be announced on November 18 during the broadcast on ESPN2.
