Bay FC has made a remarkable turnaround in their expansion season, recovering from a brutal start that saw them concede nine goals in an eight-game stretch. With the addition of Women's World Cup winner Abby Dahlkemper at center back, the team has improved their defensive solidity and is now tied for sixth on points since August 30. Head coach Montoya credits Dahlkemper's calming presence and experience, saying it has helped the team grow into a cohesive unit. Despite struggling to score goals, Bay FC has adapted their approach to possession and varied their defensive strategy, allowing them to survive their scoring woes.
