"The CBS pregame show, which has spun forth a lot of content over the fact that commentator Kelley O'Hara played on the 2021 championship Spirit team and the 2023 championship Gotham team, says Cantore will be up front with Monday on the left for the Spirit, as opposed to what was on the NWSL's graphic. We'll see. It's not baseball. Positions are a state of mind. I'm mindless, which is why I played bench."
"Who's not here? For Gotham, US gold medalist Tierna Davidson and Taryn Torres have been out for the season. For Washington, their second-leading scorer on the season is still Ashley Hatch, who only played 10 games before leaving for maternity leave. US internationals Andi Sullivan and Casey Krueger has also been out for the same reason. Ouleye Sarr has been out with a back injury. And Gabby Carle has been ruled out after recently suffering a thigh injury."
CBS noted Kelley O'Hara's championship history and indicated Sofia Cantore will play up front with Gift Monday on the left for Washington, differing from the NWSL graphic. Gotham is missing Tierna Davidson and Taryn Torres for the season. Washington has Ashley Hatch on maternity leave after 10 games; Andi Sullivan and Casey Krueger are also out for maternity reasons; Ouleye Sarr is sidelined with a back injury and Gabby Carle is out with a thigh injury. Gotham's starting XI includes Ann-Katrin Berger, Lilly Reale, Jess Carter, Emily Sonnett, Mandy Freeman, Jaelin Howell, Jaedyn Shaw, Rose Lavelle, Sarah Schupansky, Midge Purce and Esther Gonzalez. Washington's starting XI includes Aubrey Kingsbury, Kate Wiesner, Tara McKeown, Rebeca Bernal, Esme Morgan, Hal Hershfelt, Croix Bethune, Leicy Santos, Sofia Cantore, Rosemonde Kouassi and Gift Monday. Both teams show midfield creativity and strong goalkeepers.
