Thorns FC Abroad | Michelle Betos helps lead Sydney FC to Australia’s W-League final

Not a bad “offseason” for Michelle Betos. On loan for the past five months with Sydney FC of Australia’s W-League, the goalkeeper played a significant role in the club’s league semifinal over the weekend. Making several key saves, Betos helped Sydney FC secure a 1-0 victory against defending-champion Canberra United to earn a spot in the league’s Grand Final on Saturday, Jan. 30, in Melbourne.

Really proud of all the @SydneyWFC girls-Such a great team win! And a special thank you 2 all the incredible fans near and far! 1 more 2 go

Betos made three notable saves in the first half and secured the clean sheet with clutch stops in the second half.
