Overview

• After the 2-0 defeat to Portland, Angel City staged a ceremony honoring the retiring LA natives, with president Julie Uhrman telling Christen Press, "Our history starts with you."
• Ali Riley, the club’s inaugural captain, and Press, its first signing, were recognized for shaping Angel City’s identity since the team’s launch.
• Press entered in the 60th minute and forced a save from Mackenzie Arnold three minutes later, while Riley returned in the 82nd minute and finished the match wearing the captain’s armband.
• Press’s appearance capped a comeback from a June 2022 ACL tear and four surgeries before her 2024 return, and Riley worked back from a chronic nerve issue that sidelined her for much of 2024.
• Portland’s Olivia Moultrie scored both goals, and Angel City’s postseason odds also slipped after Racing Louisville’s 2-2 draw with Gotham earlier in the day.
