In the first NISA game played in the area since March 2020 in Oakland, a new club made its home debut but this time in Redwood City, with that team now in the USL Championship. The result was a learning experience for the upstarts in Redwood City as Bay Cities fell to Valley United of Arizona 2-0. While the club notched their first two goals in their history Wednesday in San Jose against Monterey in the US Open Cup they are yet to score in league play.
Once again Soccer Bay Area has the scoop from the match – it was great seeing Doug and Mike K in the house for the home inaugural match. Our take is we want NISA to thrive in the Bay Area and to give them some local competition with the USL Championship and MLS, plus as a feeder league for the NPSL/NSL/UPSL/USL League Two and other clubs including the colleges.
