Forwards Alex Pfeiffer and Racheal Kundananji at the Racing Louisville FC match in September
Although Bay FC is out of playoff contention, the team still has plenty to play for as it enters the final stretch of the season. Jordan Silkowitz is within reach of the NWSL’s all-time saves record, while Karlie Lema is just one goal away from setting a new franchise mark for goals in a single season.
But the excitement goes well beyond individual accolades. Facing off against playoff-bound contenders over the final weeks gives the club a valuable measuring stick, offering a chance to make a statement, play spoiler, and build meaningful momentum heading into next year.
On Deck in October and November
After Karlie Lema scored at the match against Kansas City Current in September 2026
Sat., Oct. 3 at 3:30 pm PT at Kansas City Current
Just one month after their first match this season, Bay FC and Kansas City Current will meet again at CPKC Stadium on Sat., Oct. 3. Hutton and Pfeiffer, two former Kansas City players, scored in September matches.
The midwestern team continues to maintain its position in the top half of the table – now above the playoff line — with 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss since playing Bay FC over Labor Day. This is due to their strong scoring lineup, which includes Haley Hopkins, who scored a hat trick against Denver last weekend, and two-time MVP Temwa Chawinga, who leads the club with 11 goals in 15 matches. They’ve also dominated at home with a 30-match unbeaten streak under their belt.
