Season Opener Preview: A Rivalry Renewed in Greensboro
The 2025 season kicks off with fireworks as we travel to Greensboro, NC on April 26 to face a familiar foe—the Carolina Phoenix. This marks the fifth chapter in what has become one of our fiercest rivalries. With the series tied at 2–2, this matchup is more than just a season opener—it’s a tiebreaker, a tone-setter, and a battle for early-season momentum.
Our last encounter came in the 2022 playoffs, where Carolina edged us out and advanced. That memory still fuels our fire—and now, with a roster stacked with veteran talent and dynamic new faces, we’re ready to write a new chapter.
Leading the Charge: Battle-Tested Veterans
Our core of experienced players returns with something to prove. All-American Pertrice Stewart-Lane anchors the offense alongside reliable playmakers like Jay Watts, Breniah Southall, Maren Kreid, Gwen Hardison, Holli Daily and Vey Owens. These athletes have been through the wars, and they know what it takes to win on the road in a hostile environment.
Fresh Faces, Big Energy
This year’s rookie class is already turning heads. Rane Moffitt, Ashley Buchanon, Shaun Counts-Ferguson, Telly Turner, Asha Shaw, Bre Daniels, and Rebecca Walter, are all expected to contribute early—and often. Their speed, physicality, and hunger to prove themselves have added a new edge to practices and raised the competitive bar across the board.
What’s at Stake
A win in Greensboro would not only give us the series lead against Carolina but also set the tone for what we believe will be a championship-caliber season. It’s more than just a game—it’s a statement.
