Finally got a chance to check on this, thks to @michaelminnich.bsky.social

Kouassi has SECOND longest amount of time between goals in NWSL regular-season brace (9th/90+8_

Longest amount, by a hair = Riley Tiernan scored in 8th min & 90+8 at WAS in May.

Yes it is, and right you are!

All-time most NWSL titles
(Champ + Shield + Challenge + Summer + Fall Series)

9 - Rowland

8 - Speck, Zerboni

7 - Biyendolo, Dahlkemper, Daniels, Debinha, Dunn, Erceg, Hamilton, Mathias, O'Sullivan, Sinclair
this sounds like a @keepernotes.bsky.social sort of question, but I suspect the answer is one of Rowland or Zerboni.
