After a dominant 9-1 victory over Bigfoot FC last Friday in Salmon Bay FC’s home opener, the Salmon Sisters are heading to Maple Valley to take on Bigfoot FC once again.
This Saturday, Salmon Bay FC finish their May schedule with a road match against Bigfoot FC as they look to get back on track after suffering their first defeat on Sunday against the West Seattle Rhodies. Fans can watch today’s match live from Stoup Brewing, or stream live on SportsEngine Play.
Salmon Bay FC know that they cannot afford to drop any more points with only one playoff spot in the NW Division and the Rhodies still perfect, so expect a full-strength lineup from the visitors when they take the pitch at Tahoma Senior High School.
Bigfoot FC
Bigfoot FC entered USL W League in 2025 at the same time as Salmon Bay FC. Bigfoot had a rough start to life in their inaugural season as they finished at the bottom of division last summer. So far, they are still bottom of the division in 2026. However, the hosts did just pick up their first point of the season with a 1-1 draw against a very good Snohomish United side.
Bigfoot FC will look to build momentum from the draw against Snohomish and pick up another result at home on Saturday. Bigfoot’s equalizer against Snohomish was scored by Presley Devey, a standout forward at the University of New Mexico. The Salmon Bay backline will look to slow down Devey and the rest of the Bigfoot attack.
The Salmon Bay strikeforce will be led by Samiah Shell, who scored Salmon Bay’s lone goal against the Rhodies and had a hat-trick of assists last weekend against Bigfoot FC at Interbay Stadium. Last season, Shell scored five goals across the two matches against Bigfoot FC and she will aim to cause even more damage on Saturday night.
Following this match, Salmon Bay FC will play one more match on the road against the Tacoma Galaxy. Then, the Salmon Sisters will finally return home on Saturday, June 6th for the opening match of a double header as Salmon Bay FC and Ballard FC host the Portland Cherry Bombs and Portland Bangers.
