The Football Ferns skipper helped her Wolfsburg side beat Ria Percival’s Frankfurt 1-0 with a second-half penalty to book their place in next season’s UEFA Women’s Champions League and set up some final day drama next weekend to decide overall Bundesliga honours.
The result ended Frankfurt’s slim hopes of returning to the Champions League and capped a miserable week where they lost two cup finals, including this season’s Champions League final against Lyon.
Wolfsburg are just one point behind leaders Turbine Potsdam and need to better their points haul in the final round of matches. Wolfsburg are away to Essen-Schönebeck while Potsdam, who beat third-placed Duisburg 2-0 away this morning, are at home to bottom-of-the-table Lokomotive Leipzig.
Leipzig are in a three-way battle to avoid relegation with Anna Green and her team mates keeping their hopes alive with a 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich.
With Bayer Leverkusen edging Amber Hearn’s USV Jena 3-2, only one of Leipzig (13 points), Leverkusen (14) and Jena (15) will avoid the drop next weekend.
In other German league action, Sarah Gregorius was on the scoresheet for the second week running, netting Bad Neuenahr’s first goal in a 4-0 rout of Hamburg.
