SAN JOSE — Penelope Hocking, fresh off recording an assist in her first match with Bay FC, tried to downplay her skillset. Asisat Oshoala wasn’t going to tolerate modesty.
“She said she’s just an addition to the speed we have up front already. I don’t think the same,” Oshoala said. “I feel like she’s a special type of player, and she has speed which is an addition to the talent she has. She uses the ball for everyone; you could see that in the game today. Without P on the ball, we wouldn’t have gotten the goal we had today.
