LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Lexington Sporting Club women may have flipped the script of their 2026 Fall season Friday night with a mammoth 4-0 win over Fort Lauderdale United FC. The result was the largest margin of victory this season for the Gals in Green as Catherine Barry paved the way with two more goals and goalkeeper Marz Josephson recorded a clean sheet in her professional debut.
Barry scored in the 20’ and 82’ minutes to secure the seventh brace of her Gainbridge Super League career, the most in league history. She bagged the first goal of the match to grant LSC its initial lead after Addie McCain forced a turnover from a Fort Lauderdale goal kick, then was on the receiving end of an Allison Pantuso long ball in the second half. With her two goals, her season tally increased to eight, and the reigning Golden Boot winner is now just one goal shy of leading the league once again.
Hannah White found the scoresheet as well to double Lexington’s lead in the 39’ minute, taking on her defender on head-on, then cutting inside to slice through another defender to find inches of space at the top of the box. With the goal fixed in her sights, she fired a rocket into the roof of the net for a bona fide golazo and her third of the season.
Lexington center back Allison Pantuso accounted for the club’s fourth and final goal of the evening when she met a Hannah Johnson free-kick service with her head in the 89’ minute. It marked the second time Pantuso scored and tallied an assist in the same match against Fort Lauderdale, with the first being in the 2025/26 season opener in Florida.
Addie McCain collected two assists in the match for the first time in her Gainbridge Super League career.
Head coach Kosuke Kimura gave goalkeeper Marz Josephson the starting nod for the first time in her professional career. The University of Kentucky product made two saves en route to collecting the clean sheet.
The rout in its home finale was Lexington’s first win since Oct. 17 and its first clean sheet since Sept. 25. With the result, Lexington usurped third place from Sporting Club Jacksonville with two matches left in the season.
