Chattanooga FC Women will kick off the 2024 WPSL season against Nashville Rhythm FC this Friday, May 24, at 7:00 p.m. ET at Finley Stadium.
In last season’s matchup between the two sides, Nashville went up 2-0 in the first half. Despite the rainy weather, CFCW stormed back to tie the game 2-2. For the second year in a row, CFCW and Nashville will face off in the first game of the season.
New signings will be the ones to watch for the Sky Blues, with Angela Gatto, an All-American defender, looking to lead the backline.
Reigning University of Charleston Freshman of the Year Juliette Lucas, and Guyanese international Annalisa Vincent will headline the attack.
“Nashville is good," said head coach Tom Halsall "I know the coach really well. I’ve coached against him collegiately. They always have a good team. But we’ve got a good team this year. We’ve got girls who are here and ready to play and win.”
“We’ve got a wide range of players from all different levels across the country and the world. Bringing everyone together creates a cool culture and the technical ability and mindset of the girls we have is very, very exciting, and I think it’s going to set us apart.”
