NJ/NY Gotham FC will begin its journey to the 2021 NWSL
title this Saturday, May 15 in the team’s home opener
at Red Bull Arena against the visiting Houston Dash.
Presented to Gotham FC fans by Avaya, the match will
be available for streaming on Paramount+ and Twitch
(international) with kickoff set for 7:00 p.m. ET. All
fans at the match will receive a Gotham FC schedule
magnet and team poster, courtesy of Avaya.
With the preseason and the Challenge Cup officially in
the books, Gotham FC turns its attention to the regular
season. After a highly anticipated wait, made even
longer by the pandemic, Gotham FC finally gets to play
in front of a home crowd at Red Bull Arena.
Fresh off a scintillating performance last Saturday in
the 2021 NWSL Challenge Cup Championship that ultimately
saw Portland prevail in match-deciding penalty kicks,
Gotham FC is primed to continue to its winning ways.
The team began its Challenge Cup run on a high after
winning its first two games in exciting fashion, but
slowly saw offensive production decline in the final two
group matches. Gotham FC rallied behind the defensive
performance of DiDi Haracic, who finished the tournament
with three shutouts, first in saves (20), and recently
nabbed NWSL Save of the Week for her fingertip save
against a Christine Sinclair shot that was destined for
the back of the net. Despite the loss in sudden death
4 NJ/NY Gotham FC vs Houston Dash
penalty kicks in the Challenge Cup Final, Gotham FC
extends its run without a loss to six games, the second
longest streak for the club, as the team heads into its
home opener.
Winners of the 2020 NWSL Challenge Cup, the Houston Dash
finished third in the Western division after compiling
a record of 1-0-3. Along with Gotham FC, the Dash were
one of three teams to finish the tournament unbeaten.
The team entered the series with draws in their first
two matches and it took the third match for the goals to
start pouring in. Their main attack has been midfielder
Kristie Mewis, who ranked as the fourth-highest scorer
in the competition with two goals and has scored (3) or
assisted (5) on eight of the Dash’s last 10 goals going
back to last season’s Fall Series. Midfielder Shea Groom
and forward Rachel Daly helped round out the attack
registering a goal apiece.
Head Coach Freya Coombe on Challenge Cup Performance and
Momentum Heading into the Regular Season
“There is an energy amongst the players that they want
to keep achieving. For us, just not settling on the
fact that we did well in the Challenge Cup. That’s not
enough for us. It’s certainly not enough for the coaching
staff. It’s not enough for the players. It’s not enough
for the organization. For us to now continue to drive
and use that momentum is really important and I think
it helps set those higher standards for the training
environment and what we can go on to achieve. It’s just
the beginning.”
Single, group and season ticket memberships are now on
sale and pricing details can be found here. Following
this home match, NJ/NY Gotham FC will travel to Chicago
to face the Red Stars on May 22 at 8:00 p.m. ET at
SeatGeek Stadium.
