No Limits in the Big City
Following a dominant 2024 season that saw Gotham claim third place with 56 points, the team is ready for another deep run. Returning stars include top scorer Esther, playmaker Rose Lavelle, and the clinical Ella Stevens. Defensive stalwarts Tierna Davidson and Emily Sonnett protect the backline, while reigning NWSL Goalkeeper of the Year Ann-Katrin Berger locks down the net. New additions like Jaelin Howell, Brazilian forward Gabi Portilho, and two-time All-American and three-time conference Defender of the Year Lilly Reale from UCLA bring depth to a squad looking to lift silverware.
