TAMPA, Fla. — The only two clubs to be crowned Gainbridge Super League champions are set to match up in West Florida Sunday evening when Lexington Sporting Club takes on Tampa Bay Sun FC.
After losing all four matches to the Sun during the 2024-25 inaugural season, the year in which the Florida side won the Final, the Lexington SC women went 2W-0L-1D against Tampa Bay last season en route to winning a title of its own.
LSC outscored Tampa Bay 6-1 across those three meetings. Catherine Barry was critical to Lexington’s success in the series last season, scoring four times and logging the first women’s hat trick in club history on April 18, 2026.
With one more goal, Barry will become just the second player in Gainbridge Super League history to reach the 20 regular-season goal mark, joining her teammate Addie McCain. She would also become the first player to do so with one team.
Fueled by Barry and the best backline in the league, Lexington has won back-to-back matches by a combined score of 4-0. Goalkeeper Ryan Campbell has not allowed a goal since Sept. 11, and her 0.6 goals allowed per 90 minutes is the best mark in the league.
Kickoff from Suncoast Credit Union Field is set for 5 p.m. ET.
SCOUTING TAMPA BAY
Tampa Bay Sun FC enters play with a 2W-1L-2D record through its first five matches played with a +1 goal differential. The group is still looking for its first clean sheet of the new campaign.
Forward Shea Connors, an offseason addition by Tampa Bay from Australia’s Sydney FC, leads the side with four goals and 15 shots. She has scored in each of the Sun’s last four matches.
The 2025/26 First Team All-League selection Sydney Nasello leads the side with two assists and nine chances created this season.
STAT OF THE MATCH
Barry’s four goals against Tampa Bay are tied for the most in the history of the series, alongside former Tampa Bay forward Cecilie Fløe.
HOW TO WATCH
The match will air live locally on FOX 56 and stream nationally on Peacock.
