Mackenzie Arnold (Thorns) — 4.7 goals better than the shots faced were worth.
How to read it

The slowest number on this site to become reliable. One season is not enough, and league-wide PSxG−GA does not currently sum to zero — treat gaps under four goals as noise.

Where this result sits

-5.34.7 goals saved over expectation
Mackenzie Arnold sits at 4.7. The middle of the 20 who qualified is -1.8, and the top tenth starts at 3.7. 8 played too few minutes to be ranked.
