HARRISON, N.J. – The fans have spoken – and voted.

After a stellar performance at the 2020 NWSL Challenge Cup, goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan has been voted the Sky BLue FC MVP by supporters.

Named Golden Glove winner of the tournament, Sheridan started all six games in the competition while logging 540 minutes, 21 saves and three shutouts.
