Samantha Chang and Jessika Cowart join Bik Nizzar to unpack Vancouver Rise FC’s remarkable championship run, from their comeback confidence to the bond forged over a roller-coaster inaugural season. They reflect on the impact of having Christine Sinclair as an owner, the city’s growing support, and what it means to be the first team to ever lift the Diana Matheson Cup. With a sold-out celebration ahead and potential league expansion on the horizon, the players are already hungry for another title push. Later, Bik dives into a round of FITB, tackling everything from World Cup surprises to NFL storylines and the chaos behind “structure” in Vancouver sports.
