Bay FC needs some firepower. After making the playoffs in its inaugural 2024 season, the team hit its sophomore slump, finishing second-to-last in 2025 with only 26 goals scored—the lowest of any team in the National Women’s Soccer League.
You know what might just fix that? Bringing in Italy’s number one goal scorer of all time and Serie A women’s 2024–25 top scorer Cristiana Girelli. The Juventus icon will be on loan to Bay through August 2026. While there, Girelli hopes she can bring her goal scoring prowess and “fino alla fine” (until the end) mentality to the club while also learning and growing both as an athlete and a human.
