A Growing California Rivalry: Bay FC vs. Angel City FC
Bay FC’s match against Angel City FC may be a friendly, but as a classic California Rivalry, there is always more on the line. The fierce NorCal vs. SoCal competition keeps the intensity alive every match.
Bay FC and Angel City FC met earlier this season in NWSL regular play. On May 17 at PayPal Park, Bay FC bested the in-state rival 2-0 with Penelope Hocking and Caroline Conti finding the back of the net.

Saturday’s match may not affect the table, but it still carries weight for pride and regional bragging rights.
