Courage post their end of season roster updates and farewells.
By omission from the farewells, you can conclude that they are still negotiating with:
- Meredith Speck
- Tyler Lussi
- Olivia Wingate
Also, they're now going to need to sign two goalkeepers this offseason, not just one.

if she actually gave a shit about protecting women in sports she would’ve been loudly speaking about her own coaches but that’s not what it’s about.
An incident in a locker room has always been key to Riley Gaines’ anti-trans fame.
But @msjpauly.bsky.social spoke to swimmers who were present at the same 2022 meet. They shared a very different narrative.
