On Sunday night, NJ/NY Gotham FC finished their road trip out west with a match against Bay FC. The Bats were the expected favorite to win. However, based on the opposite fixture, the home side was good enough to make this extremely challenging and competitive, and they did so. As a result, the points were shared, with the evening ending in a 1-1 draw.
Lineup wise, Jaadyn Shaw made her first NWSL start for the team, replacing Gabi Portilho in the Starting XI. Otherwise, it was a mostly unchanged Starting XI from the last NWSL game against San Diego Wave FC.
