Amanda Cromwell makes memorable L.A. homecoming vs. Angel City team she once co-owned
LA TimesOrlando Pride coach Amanda Cromwell watches players warm up before an NWSL Challenge Cup soccer match against the Washington Spirit in March. Six months ago Amanda Cromwell was part of the sprawling group of well-known and well-heeled investors backing Angel City, the NWSL expansion club that had brought women’s professional soccer back to Southern California. Angel City’s Christen Press slide tackles Orlando’s Darian Jenkins during the first half of Angel City’s 1-0 loss Sunday at Banc of California Stadium. “I really didn’t think it was a big deal,” said Cromwell, who had joined more than a dozen other former U.S. national team players in helping found Angel City 22 months ago. Aside from Sunday, Cromwell confessed she’s also hoping Angel City does well — and for reasons that have nothing to do with her wife or her former stake in the club.
