The NWSL season is over for Gotham FC captain Tierna Davidson.
Davidson, 26, who plays defense for Gotham FC suffered a torn ACL in her left knee during her team's match against the Houston Dash on Friday, March 28, and will be placed on the season-ending injury list, her team has announced.
"We are heartbroken for Tierna," said Yael Averbuch West, the general manager and head of soccer operations at Gotham FC. "Our club will do everything we can to support her through this recovery and rehabilitation process. We know she will come back stronger than ever."
"In: Matching scars Out: my left ACL," Davidson posted on her Instagram today. "In all seriousness, I feel so fortunate to have the support of my family, teammates and club throughout this process. The beauty of life is its unpredictable nature. While I've found myself on the adverse side of this unpredictability at the moment, I know this experience will be another colorful chapter of my journey. I have no doubt this year will bring me unexpected joys despite this setback."
Last year, with Davidson, Gotham FC finished third in the NWSL with 17 wins, five draws, and four losses. They lost in the league semifinals to the Washington Spirit in penalty kicks.
In 65 appearances for the USWNT, she has 3 goals and seven assists, and won the 2019 Women's World Cup and a gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
