Tampa, Fla. — On Saturday night, the Lexington Sporting Club women broke the Gainbridge Super League record for the longest consecutive unbeaten streak (12 matches) with a 1-1 draw against Tampa Bay Sun FC.
The excitement started early, with a goal from Catherine Barry in the 12’ minute. The goal marked Barry’s seventh for Lexington this season.
Tampa Bay responded almost immediately with an equalizing header in the 14’ minute from Sabrina McNeill.
The period ended with several fouls as both teams battled to pull ahead before the whistle. Despite the high intensity, Lexington’s defense remained composed, finishing the first period with a 66.7% tackle success rate.
Coming out of the break, LSC maintained offensive pressure, ending the match with 22 shots. But Tampa Bay’s tight defensive play kept the ball out of the net and held Lexington to just one goal on the night as the match finished all square.
