From The Blazing Musket:

Traoré is among the three forwards named to the team, which is selected by the NWSL Media Association. The league newcomer joins the ranks of NWSL veterans Sophia Wilson and Ashley Sanchez.

Much like the rest of the team, Traoré has shown a vast improvement in her quality of play. The 29-year-old recorded three goals in the first half of the season as the expansion side adjusted to the competitive league. Traoré has scored seven goals since the June break and has cemented herself as one of the team’s most pivotal players.

She scored three goals in September, and The Blazing Musket put together a short video showing them:

Something that I have noticed about her play is that she seems to be at her goalscoring best when things get messy in the box. All three of these goals are far from clean shots on goal, often the result of deflections, scrums, 50/50 balls, etc. She might be our leading scorer, but I still think Boston needs more of a pure striker threat that can score from open play more consistently.
