Detroit City FC released a recap on Mar. 25 highlighting the team’s performance during the 2025–26 Major Arena Soccer League Women’s (MASLW) season, including its Great Lakes North Division championship and hosting of the league playoffs.
The club’s season is notable for both its results on the field and its growing reputation in women’s arena soccer. Detroit City FC has become known for an exciting matchday atmosphere and community-driven success, according to the official website.
Led by head coach Dani Evans with assistants Becky Ansell and Makenna Mascaro, Detroit City FC began its campaign with a strong win against Youngstown, followed by consistent performances throughout the winter. Goalkeeper Kerstyn Williams made league history by recording back-to-back shutouts—part of a scoreless streak exceeding 125 minutes—which earned her recognition as MASLW Goalkeeper of the Year. Erin Torrence led scoring efforts with twelve goals and seven assists, earning First Team All-MASLW honors after delivering five goals in a playoff quarterfinal victory over Louisville Triumph.
The team also hosted sold-out matches at Keyworth Stadium, contributing to what has been described as one of North America’s most discussed soccer atmospheres due to passionate supporters, according to the official website. The Fieldhouse provided an energetic environment for both regular season games and when Detroit was selected to host this year’s MASLW playoffs.
Off the field, Detroit City FC promotes community unity and local pride through inclusive culture and supporter engagement. The club operates under co-founders including CEO Sean Mann and Chief Creative Officer Alex Wright, aiming to meet soccer demand in Detroit while fostering positive city promotion through sport initiatives as reported by their official website.
As another chapter closes on a successful campaign marked by record-setting performances and community engagement, observers note that Detroit City FC continues to serve as a standard-bearer for women’s arena soccer—and looks poised for future growth.
