TAMPA, Fla. – The USL Super League announced on Friday that Spokane Zephyr FC’s Hope Hisey had been voted the USL Super League Goalkeeper of the Year following a stellar first season for Zephyr in which she played a key role in the club’s defensive success.
The 2024/25 USL Super League Awards were voted on by each club’s technical staff following the conclusion of the 2024/25 USL Super League regular season.
“I’m very humbled and honored to have been selected for this award,” Hisey said. “I owe my personal success this season to the support, belief and hard work of the entire club, on and off the field. I’m very grateful to be a small part of history for the inaugural USL Super League season.”
Entering the Super League following an extensive career with the University of Arizona Wildcats and a short stint with the NWSL’s Kansas City Current, Hisey led the league in saves (70) and tied for first with nine clean sheets. Her 1.0 goals-against average ranked second in the league among all Golden Glove-eligible goalkeepers.
The 23-year-old recorded a 77 percent save percentage, the highest among Golden Glove-eligible goalkeepers, across 21 appearances for 1,890 minutes played. Hisey was especially successful during Spokane’s spring slate, where the team had a league-best record of 9-2-3 and tied for second with the fewest goals conceded (14), and six of Hisey’s nine clean sheets came in the spring.
Hisey earned the award with the most votes among goalkeepers, followed by Carolina Ascent’s Samantha Leshnak Murphy and finishing third was Dallas Trinity’s Madison White.
