Super late bc I’m not going on SM much so I apologize.

She wasn’t getting any minutes and maybe they don’t see her as having a future with the team and want to invest in someone new but it remains a questionable move. I’m almost positive it was in place already before the Milliet injury though.

The Elo projection model built by @trevorl.bsky.social picked Racing Louisville to finish in 10th place on 33 points. Now, the model pegs them for 6th place, 40 points, and a 95% chance to make the playoffs. Bev Yanez for Coach of the Year is not a bad shout indeed.

Racing Louisville the story of the season so far. Not sure Yanez could get much more out of the team than she has. It reminds me a bit of Hines' first year in Orlando.

It was definitely a scouting miss but I don’t have any info. I think she’s a great player, but obviously wasn’t found to fit into the system or potentially the NWSL. I don’t know if different people with Racing have different ideas of what players work or what but there is an issue there.

The majority of Racing Louisville's offseason centers around three college signings. The club appears to be treading water while other clubs are pushing themselves forward. Can they start to keep up? @bekkimorgan.bsky.social of @nwslthisweek.bsky.social leads the guys through all of Racing's issues.

So happy for Sophia and her family but this puts Portland in a very tough spot - especially with the Weaver injury. It’ll be interesting to see how they adjust.
