Brooklyn, N.Y. (November 2, 2026) — Brooklyn FC Women’s midfielder Jilly Shimkin has been nominated for the Gainbridge Super League Player of the Week award for week 12. Voting begins at 2 PM ET on November 2 and ends at 2 PM on November 3.
Shimkin had a record-breaking performance in Brooklyn’s 4-4 draw away at Sporting JAX, as she became the first player in Super League history to record three assists in a single match. The first goal came in the 14th minute, as her cross from the left side of the box found teammate Catherine Zimmerman unmarked. 11 minutes later Shimkin got her second assist, playing another ball across from the left side, this time tapped home by forward Ashlyn Miller. She got her third assist in the 57th minute of the match, playing teammate Jackie Richards through on goal before a strong finish into the bottom corner for Brooklyn’s fourth goal of the match. She ended up creating four chances in this match, also involved in the buildup for Brooklyn’s third goal. Shimkin leads the team with 21 chances created this season, also the second-most in the league.
The Player of the Week winner will be decided via fan vote on the Gainsbridge Super League’s official social channels. Fans can vote here.
Brooklyn FC Women have their next match on November 7 at home against Carolina Ascent at 2 PM ET. They will then head on the road to face DC Power FC on November 11 and Tampa Bay Sun on November 21. Tickets are available on SeatGeek.
