Rob Gale on Deyna Castellanos' superb performance as a 9 (1st half) & 10 (2nd half) #BAONPDX "We convinced her to come to us - she had a lot of opportunity to go elsewhere, both in the league & in Europe because of her pedigree. So now we get you to the player that you were Atlético Madrid." (1/4)

When Christine Sinclair & Becky Sauerbrunn retired, the torch was passed onto Sam Coffey #BAONPDX There is no one more deserving. "If you told my younger self that Christine Sinclair was going to hand me a captain's armband, I'd probably laugh in your face. It's just an honor."

Morgan Weaver will be OUT for 2025 #BAONPDX "It hurts my heart to share that I will not be playing in this upcoming 2025 season. Unfortunately my knee never fully healed from last seasons injury so I will be restarting the process of rehabbing my meniscus." Hoping MW a safe & speedy recovery.
