Goalkeeper Olivia Sekany

• Outside of playing soccer, my favorite thing to do is: “Go to yoga at YogaSix. It’s a great community of people and it always feels so inviting when we go there. And they’re big Racing supporters.”
• I love that Louisville: “is such a historic city with so many cool landmarks and buildings to go explore.”
• My favorite local spot is: “Volare. The food is delicious, and the atmosphere is great. It’s time away from being sweaty, dirty soccer players to get dressed up and go out.”

Coach Bev Yanez

• Outside of playing soccer, my favorite thing to do is: “Spend time with my family — we have two daughters — at Malibu Jack’s.”
• I love that Louisville: “has good coffee. I couldn’t survive without it. I’m a regular at both Heine Brothers and Quills.”
• My favorite local spot is: “Jade Palace. It’s so, so good. The egg drop soup is unreal.”

Forward Parker Goins

• Outside of playing soccer, my favorite thing to do is: “take my dog Ronny on a walk. A lot of the girls on the team have dogs and we love walking along the river.”
• I love that Louisville: “always has something to do, whether it’s the Derby, Bourbon and Beyond, sports events, something at the Waterfront.”
• My favorite local spot is: “La Bodeguita. I really love their Cubano nachos.”
