The Week in Women's Football: Liga MX Femenil Clausura review; Oakland joins W-League; Moscato coaching Tigres

Club America signed another Los Angeles area player in former California State University-Northridge Destinney Duron back in 2020 but she has since blossomed for Toluca Las Diablas, who she joined later in the season. At Cal State-Northridge, she played in 57 games and had 11 career points, with 9 assists for the Matadors, utilizing a long throw-in for dangerous chances on goal. She also won a 2016 UWS national championship with Santa Clarita Blue Heat in 2016. Duran went through tryouts with the team before being offered a professional contract by CA. Duran talked about the differences she has found in the game in Mexico while with the club, "The game is different, faster and more physical. One of the biggest dilemmas is the altitude here. In Mexico City, the altitude is over 7,000 feet so that's been a big obstacle to get my body prepared to play." She explained that she has had to fight back from multiple injuries to make it to the pros, "After going through two ACL injuries and to be able to play professionally is a big accomplishment for me and it really hits home….I couldn't play at the highest level at times but I've been able to overcome that and continue to play."
