Last week, we had a special guest at Lynn Family Stadium.

My friend Taylor Vincent, known for her prolific Twitter account, former writing for Equalizer Soccer, and current role as the NWSL contract guru for Sportrac.com, stopped by to take in the Racing/Courage game and engage in her other hobby: sports photography. Apparently, she’s a fantastic good luck charm because Big Purp won their first match ever against North Carolina after 12 tries. Taylor was kind enough to share her photos with us so you, too, can always remember the 21st night of September and relive it all below.

Enjoy!
