Christen Press made a triumphant return to the scoresheet on Saturday, netting her first goal in over two years during Angel City’s 1-1 draw with North Carolina Courage.

The moment was extra special as Press became the 10th player in NWSL history to score on her 100th appearance. Press missed 28 months with Angel City due to a injury which makes the goal all the more special.

Teammates and players across the women’s soccer world rallied around Press, with Sydney Leroux sharing a heartwarming Instagram carousel highlighting their journey together as teammates and friends.

Press also took a moment to acknowledge the traveling fans, expressing her gratitude for their unwavering support and for reminding her of how far she has come in her career.
