DAVIE, Fla. — The Lexington Sporting Club women are preparing for their second of four consecutive matches against clubs from Florida Sunday evening as they take on Fort Lauderdale United FC in Gainbridge Super League action.
The series has been about as lopsided as it gets in professional soccer as of late and skews heavily in favor of the Gals in Green. Lexington has rattled off three consecutive victories against Fort Lauderdale, having not lost to its opponent since the 2024/25 season.
Last season, Lexington posted a 3W-0L-1D record against Fort Lauderdale and outscored the club 13-5. Three of Fort Lauderdale’s five goals in the series were scored in the first match of the season.
Catherine Barry has feasted against Fort Lauderdale throughout the 2025/26 season, a statement that rings true for several clubs across the Gainbridge Super League. The striker scored three times against them last season, and if she does so again, it will be a historic goal.
Barry currently sits on 19 Gainbridge Super League regular season goals. With one more, she will become just the second player in league history to cross the 20-goal threshold, joining only Addie McCain.
McCain’s 22 goals, the most in league history, are split between her time at Fort Lauderdale during the 2024/25 season and her time in Lexington. McCain bagged 10 goals in a Fort Lauderdale shirt and has added 12 more while in green.
Barry would become the first player in league history to reach 20 goals with one club.
Lexington enters play unbeaten in its last three matches. LSC compiled wins against Sporting Club Jacksonville and Dallas Trinity FC before drawing with Tampa Bay Sun FC last time out.
Kickoff from Amerant Bank Field is set for 7 p.m. ET.
SCOUTING FORT LAUDERDALE
Fort Lauderdale United FC enters play as the only club with fewer than two wins in the Gainbridge Super League heading into Week 9. It sports a 1W-6L-0D record, a –7 goal differential and sits in last place in the standings.
The Florida side is also the only club that has not scored multiple goals in a match.
The club parted ways with Head Coach Tyrone Mears earlier this week. Mears served as Fort Lauderdale’s head coach during the 2024/25 season before being named the club’s president of soccer for the 2025/26 season, then was renamed head coach for the Fall 2026 campaign. Paul Jennison will serve as the club’s interim head coach for the second time in two years.
Sh’nia Gordon leads the side with two goals. Goalkeeper Haley Craig has posted a 62.1% save percentage on the season, making 18 saves on 29 shots faced and logging one clean sheet.
