The city of Columbus is host to the Columbus Eagles, a Women’s Premier Soccer League (WPSL) team who made their league debut in 2014. Since then, the team has grown with their performances on the pitch and their reach in the community. On Sunday, the Eagles welcomed their rivals from Cincinnati to Otterbein Memorial Stadium for the team’s home opener. The Sirens took the win, 3-2, despite a strong effort from the home side.
Sunday was my first WPSL experience, and it was a very positive one despite the result. I had several takeaways from on and off the pitch regarding the Eagles and my first exposure to the league.
