Bay FC News Release
SAN JOSE, Calif. – Bay FC welcomes NWSL newcomers Boston Legacy FC to the Bay Area in Week Eight of NWSL play, the club’s second straight home match. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. PT Friday, May 15. Tickets remain available at BayFC.com/tickets, and the match will broadcast live on Victory+ with Josh Appel and Gary Bailey on the call. Presented by Bay FC Founding Partner PNC Bank, the first 5,000 fans in attendance will receive a Bay FC x PNC Bank Roped Cap as the two organizations team up to support women-owned and led businesses throughout the Bay Area.
Bay FC will look to maintain a run of strong form as the club enters the match on the heels of back-to-back shutout performances.

Bay FC claimed its first string of consecutive clean sheets since 2024 behind a strong defensive performance and continued excellence between the posts from goalkeeper Jordan Silkowitz.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Bay FC goalkeeper Jordan Silkowitz: Silkowitz has been nominated for Save of the Week honors for four straight weeks, a nod to her shot-stopping and ability to rise to the occasion in big moments week after week. She enters this week’s match with 30 saves on the season, just one back of the league lead. Against Utah in Week Seven, she made two stops – with both dispelling dangerous threats from the visitors that could have changed the result.
Boston Legacy FC forward Amanda Gutierres: Gutierres starred for her club in a midweek matchup with Orlando that extended Legacy FC’s lossless streak. Coming off the bench, the Brazilian assisted the equalizer in the 72nd minute before netting the winner from the penalty spot deep in stoppage time. Helping erase a 1-0 deficit, it was her first goal of the season and second assist.
ANOTHA ONE
Bay FC goalkeeper Jordan Silkowitz was nominated for NWSL Save of the Week for Week 7, her fourth consecutive nomination for the weekly league honor. Her 78th minute leaping denial of Utah Royals forward Mina Tanaka in Sunday’s scoreless draw at PayPal Park kept the match tied heading into the final minutes. Silkowitz won the fan vote for the Week Six honor after a penalty save vs. San Diego May 3.
