From the bottom of the table to playoff potential, Sky Blue FC might have found the secret to success.
Everyone loves a good underdog story, and this year, it’s Sky Blue FC.
Sky Blue currently sits fourth in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) table with a 6-4-4 record and 22 points. That means that, just a week before the month-long Olympic break, Sky Blue is sitting in a playoff position.
Before the season even started, many people had already counted Sky Blue out. The off-season departures of former Head Coach Jim Gabarra and nine players from the 2015 roster, many of whom were starters, made Sky Blue’s future look bleak.
