NJ/NY Gotham FC booked a spot in the NWSL Championship for the first time ever after Katie Stengel's stunner in extra time earned them a 1-0 win over the reigning champions Portland Thorns on Sunday. The two played to a scoreless draw for 90 minutes, but the lack of goals were not for a lack of trying. Golden boot winner Sophia Smith was a threat for the Thorns but Gotham goalkeeper Mandy Haught was up for the task, while Lynn Williams was active whenever the visitors got forward. In the end, it was substitute Stengel who was the hero of the day. Gotham earned the ball in the 107th minute off a giveaway near the penalty area, with Kristie Mewis sending the ball towards Stengel. From there, she took a curling shot from distance that sailed over goalkeeper Shelley Hogan.
