"I'll do my best to get there next year," says the Reign FC midfielder after accepting the award via video message.
Meanwhile, Bronze, the Lyon full back, said after finishing runner-up: "We have the best players in the world at Lyon. We tried our best at the World Cup and you can see the future of women's football."
