Editorial
Asisat Oshoala’s impressive form in the NWSL continues to highlight her status as one of the top forwards in women’s football. Her seventh goal of the season for Bay FC is a testament to her consistency and skill. However, the heavy 5-1 defeat to Gotham FC underscores the challenges Bay FC faces as they push for a playoff spot.
Oshoala’s brilliance shone through once again with her expertly placed goal, but football is a team sport, and Bay FC struggled to cope with the dominance of Gotham FC, particularly in the second half. The reigning champions proved their superiority with four unanswered goals, leaving Bay FC with much to ponder as they approach the end of the regular season.

For Bay FC, securing a playoff position will require more than Oshoala’s efforts. The team needs to tighten up defensively and find ways to compete against the league’s top sides if they are to succeed. With three matches remaining, there is still hope, but the squad must rally together to improve their performances in the weeks ahead.
