The final day of the regular season gave fans Gotham’s Shield win, a farewell to a Seattle hero and a new part-whiparound, part-watchalong show to take it all in As a player, Ali Krieger went into NWSL Decision Day focused on one result. She was Gotham FC’s captain in 2023, the first time the league played all of the final games of the regular season simultaneously.
