Milliet to make 100th League Appearance for Racing

Racing will play it’s 100th NWSL match on Sunday in Portland. Lauren Milliet has been on the pitch for every single one of them. In fact, she has played 92% of the available minutes in her Racing career. If you exclude the first season, she has played at least 98% of the available minutes in the last four seasons. If availability is the best ability, it is followed in close second by durability.

Everybody loves Lo. I think the easiest way to get on the bad side of any Racing fan may be to say a bad word about her. She has won Racing's Impact Player of the Year award at every LouCity & Racing Foundation Soccer Ball (2022, 2023 & 2024), an award is voted on by her teammates. When I talk to people, she is almost always at the top or near the top of their list of favorite players.

She also does more than her fair share of publicity and media responsibilities as well. When Racing is involved in the community, she almost always seems to be there. Lo genuinely seems to love this community and said on Friday that she is proud to represent the city and considers it her “home away from home”.

When asked about her commitment to the team, Coach Bev said, “She means a lot.” Bev added that Lo is always genuine and authentic, which is something that shines through easily when you spend any time with her.

Lo will be Racing’s first “centurion” which will cement her place in team and league history. The club stated that “she’ll be the first player in NWSL history to play in 100 consecutive regular season matches for the same club.” That also means that she is the first player in NWSL history to appear in all of a club’s first 100 league matches. That is remarkable.

Congratulations and here's to 100 more!
