Alex Loera, the first player in Bay FC’s history, has suffered a season-ending knee injury. The 24-year-old announced on social media that she tore her ACL during the first half of Bay FC’s loss at Kansas City on Saturday night.
Loera, who was named the team captain for the franchise’s first game, had been a physical all-round force for Bay FC, playing mostly as a central holding midfielder and scoring one goal in four matches.
Bay FC general manager Lucy Rushton said, “We could not have found a better player and a better person to become the first player in this franchise’s history. On and off the field, Alex epitomizes what we stand for and what we want with Bay FC.”
