What they had to say
Sara Doorsoun: “It has been my dream to play in Los Angeles. I came to LA when I was 14 with the U-15 German National Team and it was always on my mind to play there, I didn’t know if this team would exist and now that it does, my dream is coming true 19 years later. I promise to give it my all for the fans and the city, I am excited to play for Alex, with the whole team, and in front of the incredible fans.”
Sporting Director Mark Parsons: “We are excited to welcome Sara to Angel City. She has significant club and international experience that will immediately impact our team on and off the field. We look forward to having her quality and leadership in the group as we continue to push for playoffs in the second half of the season.”
Head coach Alexander Straus: “Sara is an experienced central defender who I have faced many times in my coaching career. Her experience with top European clubs and the German National Team will add great quality to our roster. Every time we played her at Bayern, she gave us problems, so I am happy that she is now on our roster and I look forward to her arrival.”
