URGENT UPDATE: Bay FC closed its tumultuous second season in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) with a 1-0 loss to Racing Louisville on Sunday. The defeat marks the team’s 14th loss of the season, leaving them at the bottom of the league standings, 13th out of 14 teams.
The match, held on September 24, 2025, showcased a valiant defensive effort from Bay FC in the first half, but the team faltered just three minutes after the break when Ella Hase scored the game’s only goal. This loss extends Bay FC’s winless streak to 15 matches, with their last victory coming on June 7 against Portland.
Coach Albertin Montoya, who announced his resignation earlier this month amid an investigation into a reportedly “toxic” workplace environment, reflected on the season, stating, “We didn’t end the way we would’ve liked to, but I also have to say thank you to the players… they never stopped competing and playing for each other.” Montoya’s departure marks a significant change for the club, which struggled to build on its inaugural season performance.
Despite the challenging season, defender Caprice Dydasco achieved a remarkable milestone by playing every minute of the 2025 regular season, securing her place in NWSL history as an “iron woman.” She becomes the first Bay FC player to reach this distinction, a feat accomplished by only 40 players in the league’s history.
The loss also reflects broader changes within the organization as Brady Stewart, the team president, tendered her resignation last month. Stewart played a pivotal role in the season’s highlight, organizing a match at Oracle Park that attracted over 35,000 fans.
This offseason promises further transformation for Bay FC as they prepare for their third year in the league. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how the club addresses its numerous challenges and rebuilds for a more successful campaign ahead.
Stay tuned for more updates on Bay FC’s future direction and leadership changes.
