Who made BBC's SWPL team of the week?

Katie Cox (Aberdeen): Not the busiest of afternoons at Balmoral for the Aberdeen goalkeeper, but holding on for a morale-boosting clean sheet with the relegation play-off to come was a huge boost for Scott Booth's side. Tegan Browning (Motherwell): Opened the scoring in the battle to be the best of the rest, but it was much more about her defensive performance in what was a hard-fought victory for Iain Robinson's side. Leah Eddie (Rangers): Great to see the Scotland international get 90 minutes under her belt in what has been a stop-start campaign.

The latest SWPL Team of the Week is in, and it's packed with standout performances that could inspire your next matchday kit choice. Let's dive into the action.

Starting between the sticks, Katie Cox (Aberdeen) delivered a crucial clean sheet at Balmoral. While she wasn't bombarded with shots, her composure under pressure gave Scott Booth's side a massive morale boost as they gear up for the relegation play-off. A performance that proves sometimes the best saves are the ones you don't have to make.

In defence, Tegan Browning (Motherwell) opened the scoring in the "best of the rest" battle, but her real impact came at the back. Her defensive grit was key in Iain Robinson's hard-fought victory, showing that a goal is just the cherry on top of a solid all-round game.

Leah Eddie (Rangers) finally got a full 90 minutes under her belt after a stop-start campaign. The Scotland international's return is a huge boost for Leanne Crichton's side, who have missed her composure and defensive nous. Meanwhile, Rachael Boyle (Hibernian) made a dream return after eight games out. The skipper strolled through her shift at left-back, helping Joelle Murray's side end Glasgow City's title hopes in style.

In midfield, Jodi McLeary (Rangers) earns her spot for a moment of pure quality. The 20-year-old, who has covered multiple positions this season, delivered a goal and an assist back in her natural midfield role against Partick Thistle. Ciara Grant (Hibernian) put in another Rolls Royce performance in the middle of the park at Meadowbank, controlling the game and playing a huge part in the second goal.

Brodie Greenwood (Aberdeen) was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet, hitting the woodwork, but her consistent performances are building momentum for the Dons as they fight to stay in the top flight. Up front, Lauren Wade (Hearts) scored the winning goal that puts Hearts on the brink of their first SWPL title. She's already secured European football for the club for the first time—history maker alert.

Georgia Timms (Hearts) is joining her teammate in the record books. Hearts' star performer of the season just can't stop scoring, and we're running out of superlatives for her. Finally, Abi Harrison (Glasgow City) changed the game off the bench, scoring minutes after coming on and then setting up the equaliser. Even on the losing side, she proved why she's a game-changer.

Whether you're guarding the goal like Cox or finding the net like Timms, these players show that every position on the pitch can make a difference. Time to gear up and channel your inner SWPL star.
