I think that’s part of the explanation of how ‘24 went as far as on-field performance. No doubt off-field behavior/decisions contributed massively to a 10th place finish. But no denying that McCaskill at the 10 didn’t work in debut season. ‘25 rebirth w/Dali. Writing on the wall with Fazer signing.

Now Sheridan’s departure: consummate pro whose lessons from Sky Blue contributed massively to Wave 1.0 as expansion club. GkOTY in ‘22 was cherry on the top. Defied every narrative of #NWSL style - total footballer with her feet & hands. Journeywoman respected league-wide. Due every ounce of praise.
