Charlie β‘οΈ @lvlightsfc.bsky.social π§€
Congrats to 2024 and 2025 Ballard FC player Charlie Lanphier on signing a professional contract with Las Vegas Lights FC of the USL Championship!
Charlie was integral to two straight NW Division Titles in his two seasons in goal for us
#Path2Pro | #UpTheBridges
He also scored his first four collegiate goals and dished out his first three assists for the GNAC Regular Season Co-Champions. After a great fall at Interbay Stadium, now heβll look to do the same this summer.
Help us welcome Cristian back to Ballard FC!

Welcome back, Cristian Chel Lara! π₯
Another Falcon is back in the Ballard FC midfield this summer!
Cristian had a breakout sophomore season with Seattle Pacific University this fall as he appeared in all 21 matches and made his first nine collegiate starts.
He started in 14 of 15 matches for the Bulldogs. The big center back isnβt just an imposing defender but proved he can be an attacking threat as well, scoring his first Yale goal against Cornell in September.
Help us welcome Andrew back to Ballard FC!
#BallardFC | #UpTheBridges
Welcome back, Andrew Myerson! πͺ
Weβve got a bulldog on the backline again this year!
Despite spending the majority of last summer rehabbing, Andrew still made his USL League Two debut in a road win against Lane United.
Then in the fall, Andrew had a breakout season in his first year with Yale.
Itβs a Starfire Sunday.
Good luck to Joe, Charlie, Peter, Demian, Danny, and the whole Tacoma Defiance squad who start their MLS NEXT Pro season today!

Even while out with injury, Connor stepped up in a leadership role, running βTollan Technical Trainingβ and being a consistent veteran presence.
In the fall, Connor had another stellar season with SPU as he captained the team to a GNAC Title and earned both All-Region and All-Conference honors.
Welcome back, Connor Tollan! π
Connor is staying at Interbay Stadium for another summer of soccer!
Last summer, Connor made a big impact early in the season. His opening goal and MOTM performance against Bigfoot delivered a big 3 points on the road.

Korzeniowski was Ballard FC's leading scorer in 2023 with 18 goals, a single-season club record. His goals helped lead us to our first NW Division title, first Western Conference championship, and, of course, the National Championship β where he scored the opening goal in the "Thrilla in Tukwila."

What a week for Stas π€©
Last week, Stas Korzeniowski made his competitive Philadelphia Union debut, and earned his first start, in a 5-0 victory in the Concacaf Champions Cup. Then, over the weekend, he made his MLS debut in the season opener, entering the match in the 79th minute.
The imposing center back isnβt just a lockdown defender however as he added two goals and an assist to his tally this season as well.
