#PORvGFC Caiya Hanks on the Riveters energy "Absolutely I hear them, and I'm like, 'Oh my gosh, go faster. Go faster, go faster'. Honestly, I got caught a few times, running faster than the ball. It's so fueling. It just builds so much like fire and intensity for me, and it's awesome"

#PORvGFC Jayden Perry and Caiya Hanks on the leadership group on this club "[Jessie Fleming has] given me a lot of confidence these past few weeks.. She's been great. She told me, ‘I give you license to just be yourself, and whoever the outside back is, just take them."

The complete opposite of the two early games tonight where the opening goals were scored in the 88th and 90+1 minute. #GothamFC #NWSL #PORvGFC

Less than 90 seconds in and Midge Purce gives Gotham the lead!! A cross from Reiten goes all the way to the far post where Purce scores with a volley that crashes in off the post. Dream start for Gotham. #GothamFC #NWSL #PORvGFC
