Basically, these are the goals where the player taking the shot added the most value just on shot quality, and the saves where the keeper was best able to navigate this unexpected extra shot quality. Not a perfect way to measure best goals/saves, but cool to look at. Top 3 goals and saves below.

Top save: Abby Smith vs. Washington Spirit (0.91 PSxG on 0.21 xG).

This turns into a goal a second later, but good on Smith for getting that initial save.

Top goal: Lizbeth Ovalle vs. San Diego Wave FC (0.75 PSxG on 0.07 xG).

Works with her team to beat the Wave in transition and make sure the ball finds the back of the net.
