UPDATE: Bay FC’s challenging second season in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) concluded with a 1-0 loss to Racing Louisville on Sunday, marking a turbulent end to an already rocky campaign. The defeat, which took place at Louisville, leaves Bay FC with a dismal record of 4 wins, 14 losses, and 8 draws, positioning them 13th out of 14 teams in the league.
The game started with a resilient Bay FC defense, holding off significant pressure during a scoreless first half. However, just three minutes into the second half, Ella Hase found the net, delivering the only goal of the match. This loss signifies Bay FC’s 15th consecutive match without a win, with their last victory occurring on June 7, 2025, against Portland.
In a poignant moment, head coach Albertin Montoya expressed gratitude despite the disappointing outcome. “We didn’t end the way we would’ve liked to, but I also have to say thank you to the players and to Bay FC,” he stated. Montoya, who announced his resignation earlier this month amid an investigation into a reportedly “toxic” workplace environment, will not return for the club’s next season.
The season has been overshadowed by significant challenges, including the dismissal of two key figures and Montoya’s impending exit, which has left fans and players alike anxious for the future. Despite the setbacks, defender Caprice Dydasco achieved a remarkable milestone by playing every minute of the 2025 regular season, earning her status as an “iron woman.” She becomes the first Bay FC player to reach this status, joining a select group of only 40 players in league history.
As Bay FC looks toward its third season, further changes loom on the horizon. Brady Stewart, the team president, has also resigned, following her role in orchestrating the club’s highlight moment—a match at Oracle Park attended by over 35,000 fans. These departures signal a new chapter for Bay FC, which will need to regroup and rebuild after this tumultuous season.
Fans are left eager to see what changes the organization will implement as they prepare for the upcoming season. The urgency for improvement is palpable, as Bay FC aims to reclaim its competitive edge and avoid repeating the struggles faced in 2025.
Stay tuned for further updates as the club’s management prepares for an offseason of significant transitions.
