BROOKLYN, N.Y. — The Lexington SC women have matched up against seven of the other eight clubs in the Gainbridge Super League through the first third of the season. Familiar foes now begin to regularly populate the schedule, beginning with Brooklyn FC Saturday afternoon.
The two sides previously met in the Bluegrass on Sept. 7, a 2-0 victory in favor of Lexington.
It was the match in which Catherine Barry introduced herself as a force in the league, scoring twice in a four-minute span then hitting the crossbar 90 seconds later in search of a hat trick.
LSC’s initial clash with Brooklyn initiated a run in which the club has posted a 4W-0L-4D record and outscored opponents 18-5.
Saturday will also feature two players tied for the Gainbridge Super League assist lead, Lexington’s Tati Fung and Brooklyn’s Jessica Garziano.
