Bay FC women’s soccer team earned critical recognition in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) with two players receiving multiple nominations for weekly awards after their September 2026 performances. The team drew 2-2 against Denver Summit FC and secured a 2-0 win over Racing Louisville FC during this period.
Goalkeeper Jordan Silkowitz received a nomination for Save of the Week for a key stop in the 45th minute against Denver Summit FC. Silkowitz made seven saves in that match to help Bay FC stay competitive and later achieved her seventh clean sheet of the season in the 2-0 victory. She also became the sixth player in NWSL history to reach 100 saves in a single season.
Midfielder Taylor Huff earned two nominations: Goal of the Week for scoring a dramatic match-tying goal in second-half stoppage time (90+5 minutes) against Denver Summit FC, where she slipped the ball through the goalkeeper’s legs, and Player of the Week for her overall performances. Huff also assisted Claire Hutton’s 73rd-minute goal in the same match.
Bay FC will continue its NWSL campaign hosting Orlando Pride at PayPal Park on Sunday, September 27, 2026, as part of the Latino Heritage Match.
CSB Take
The nominations for Jordan Silkowitz and Taylor Huff emphasize their significant impact on Bay FC’s recent strong showings in the NWSL. Silkowitz’s milestone of 100 saves and multiple clean sheets underscores her importance in goal, while Huff’s clutch goal and assist highlight her offensive influence. These recognitions signal Bay FC’s evolving competitive stature in the league and set positive expectations ahead of their next match against Orlando Pride.
