Gotta credit the whole operation—front office, coaching staff, players—with getting Paul in a position to be a consistent threat. She has created so many opportunities over her first few games. Great first pro goal, after getting oh so close a couple times early. Postgame, she talked about overcoming mental hurdles related to never scoring in the pros. Happy to see and hear she feels comfortable in this new system.
All right yall. Now’s the time to sell out the stadium. Biz opps. How we looking so far??? LETS DO THISSSS
I put together postgame quotes from Gianna Paul, Kailen Sheridan and Mak Lind, with stats and box score notes where they apply. It covers Paul's goal, Natiel Jacobs' return, how Lind explained the late sub and yellow card, and what he said about Sanchez's USWNT call-up.
Hey Courage Country! Tonight's match will still stream on NWSL+ and will now simulcast on ESPNU during the first half and on ESPN2 following the conclusion of the WNBA game, giving you more ways to watch. Hope you all tune in and watch this big Friday night matchup :)
