In the 82nd minute of a must-win game for Bay FC, Abby Dahlkemper was about to make history.
The score remained 0-0 against the visiting North Carolina Courage, but the California-based expansion side had earned a free kick just outside the box, marking perhaps a final opportunity to find the back of the net. Without all three points, Bay FC could say goodbye to their playoff dreams in a tightly contested race for the final two spots.
