Bay FC Aims for Top-Four Finish in Sophomore NWSL Season

After a record-setting inaugural year, Bay FC looks to build on defensive improvements and offensive consistency to host a playoff game in 2025.

Bay FC seeks to finish in the top four of the NWSL standings this year, a goal that would secure them a home playoff game for the first time.
The team retained 22 of its 30 inaugural players, including key contributors like Abby Dahlkemper, whose midseason arrival last year bolstered the defense.
Offensive stars Asisat Oshoala and Racheal Kundananji aim to improve their scoring output after adjusting to the league and team dynamics in 2024.
New additions include rookies Karlie Lema and Taylor Huff, as well as veteran defender Kelli Hubly, who brings championship experience to the backline.
The league's new collective bargaining agreement has reshaped player movement and compensation, with Bay FC navigating these changes to strengthen its roster.
