Tierna Davidson plays before a hometown crowd tonight at PayPal Park

Gotham FC soccer player Tierna Davidson, a Menlo Park native and Stanford alum, will be able to play before hometown fans tonight when she takes the field at PayPal Park against Bay FC.

“It feels really nice to always play in a familiar place, both having played at that stadium [PayPal Park in San Jose] but also just generally in this area,” Tierna told the New York Post. “I’ve watched so many soccer games here growing up … so to be able to be the person on the field that the kids are excited to see and to be able to bring that to the Bay Area I think is really exciting.”

The game is set for 7:00 pm and is available for streaming on Amazon Prime.

Tierna, who now lives in New Jersey, signed a three-year contract with Gotham during the offseason.
