It was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad season for Angel City FC. But it’s not one the team is running away from.
“Did we put it all together this year?” team president Julie Uhrman asked. “No.”
In fact, the team won just one of its last eight games; missed the playoffs for the third time in four seasons; saw attendance plummet; lost Alyssa Thompson, its best and most exciting player, on a million-dollar transfer; and watched its two most-decorated players — Ali Riley and Christen Press — retire after a season in which they combined for two starts.
