WATCH THE CLIP

<p>With only one game left in the NWSL regular season, Angel City and Leroux have been eliminated from 2024 postseason contention, capping off a disappointing campaign.</p><p>“It’s been a real up and down, rollercoaster of a season,” Angel City coach Becki Tweed said. “We had some really, really high moments and we’ve had some really low moments and I think being able take those moments of adversity and grow and being able to put second-half performances together, consistently that would be brilliant and then we have to add all of that together. </p><p>“I’ve said every week, it’s a process, it doesn’t happen over night. Being a club from scratch is something that takes time, building an identity, building a culture is something that takes time and I think this season we have grown massively in our identity and what we’re trying to achieve and accomplish. Yes, there’s been bumps along the way and we recognize that, but everything that’s been a bump along the way is completely in our control.”</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Angel City conclude their 2024 regular season on Nov. 1 against the Portland Thorns. Then, it's on to 2025 as they prepare and look forward to the new campaign.</p>
