TORONTO - Ottawa Rapid forward Delaney Baie (DB) Pridham, who led the league in scoring in its inaugural season, has been named Northern Super League player of the year.

The 28-year-old scored 18 goals, four more than AFC Toronto’s Kaylee Hunter, and added three assists in helping Ottawa to second place in the regular-season standings at 11-8-6. Pridham accounted for 44 percent of Ottawa’s 41 regular-season goals.

Pridham also led the six-team league in shots (83) and shots on target (42). In June, she became the first NSL player to record a hat-trick in a 4-0 win over AFC Toronto.

The NSL Player of the Year Award was decided by NSL players, who could not vote for themselves or for their teammates. Pridham was also voted NSL forward of the year by her peers.
