After considerable deliberation and evaluation of where we are in our season, we have made the difficult decision to make a change. We sincerely wish Freya all the best, and she will forever hold an indelible place in Angel City's history.'

Freya wholeheartedly embraced the opportunity and the accompanying pressure, building a team that competed hard and challenged the most veteran clubs. We can't thank Freya enough for her positive attitude, hard work, and unwavering commitment to Angel City. On behalf of our entire community and team, we wish her all the best in the future.'
