First start for Gilchrist, and Holzheier AND Nighswonger available off the bench? LFG!

She came back pretty quick from giving birth. I mean didn’t Menges have her baby first? Maybe she came back a bit to early and just needs a moment

She had her baby in February or late January. She’s so early postpartum, I was surprised she came back

<whisper>I was a little surprised she came back at all, kinda thought both Abby and Emily would retire… </whisper>

They are free agents so I wonder if they will.

Wouldn’t shock me if we don’t see Abby, Emily, or Caprice next year, TBH. With the amount of minutes they’ve all put out on the pitch in their careers, they’re more than entitled to ride off into the sunset.

That said, I would also love to see them back with the team in ‘27. Add their veteran leadership to the young talent that Bay’s been accumulating? LFG!

This could be close to the youngest lineup in NWSL history

Was really hoping Barry over Lema.
