Drawing on the experience of last year’s loss, the defender played a crucial role in Galaxy’s championship run this season. Her defensive strength anchored one of the top back lines in the tournament, consistently shutting down opposing attacks. In the second half of the final, she made her mark offensively by capitalizing on a corner kick. Cleaning up in the box and scoring the decisive goal. With this effort, she not only put Galaxy on the scoresheet but also secured the win, showing just how valuable her presence was on both ends of the pitch.

Fahey will be one of the creative players to watch. She makes skilled footwork look effortless, using her spatial awareness to stay composed and make smart decisions under pressure. Her ability to work smarter, not harder, allows her to navigate tight spaces and keep possession in difficult moments. With Galaxy SC, she has been a key contributor on both sides of the ball. She shows versatility that strengthens her team in transition. This versatility also aids in buildup play. It will be exciting to see how that versatility translates this week. Her creativity and intelligence in the midfield will play a major role for Team Navy in the GA Cup.
