Angel City proved it can compete with NWSL's best despite a 1-0 loss in NWSL quarterfinals. Upgrading its offense and fortifying its roster come next.
For Angel City, Friday’s playoff loss wasn’t so much an end to a journey as it was a pause in the trek. What was a disappointment in the present is already proving to be an inspiration for the future. “We've proven that we can compete and be one of the top teams and we have top players,” interim coach Becki Tweed said after the 1-0 loss to the OL Reign in the NWSL quarterfinals. “Obviously devastated, and that makes it more difficult. But we'll grow from it.
In the meantime Tweed, who said she is happy in Los Angeles, is free to listen to offers from clubs inside and outside the NWSL. “The first step for me is I have to do a deep dive on myself and some self-reflection,” she said. “I need to look at where I can grow, where I can be better.
