Lexington Sporting Club announced the official signing of Grace Wisnewski to the inaugural USL Super League roster pending league and federation approval on Monday, June 17^th. 

Wisnewski has enjoyed a strong career in Oceania, being a national “Kiwi”, having suited up for the New Zealand Women’s National Team. 

Her national journey began in 2017 when she began play with New Zealand’s U17 Women’s National Team — dubbed “The Young Ferns” — making 10 appearances and scoring multiple goals. She helped the team in the U17 World Cup, earning a bronze medal and being named two-time player of the match.

Having worked her way up through the national team system Wisnewski trained with the senior squad ahead of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup and has earned three senior caps as an active member of the “Football Ferns.” 

At the club level Wisnewski has remained in her home region, beginning her youth career with Hamilton Wanderers AFC before beginning her senior career with the Wellington Phoenix in the Australian A-League, the highest level of women’s football in the region. 

Despite being in the native league of Australia, Wellington Phoenix is located in Wellington, New Zealand, and are the only non-Australian representative in the A-League. 

She departed the Phoenix in 2023 with the idea of seeking further opportunities around the world, leading her to her new home in the Bluegrass as part of the inaugural Lexington SC USL Super League team. 

Lexington Sporting Club announced the official signing of former W League player Autumn Weeks to the inaugural USL Super League roster pending league and federation approval on Wednesday, July 3^rd.

One year prior she also suited up for Chicago Red Star Reserves in the Women’s Premier Soccer League (WPSL) and helped push the team to be Lake Michigan Conference Champions.

The Waves were nationally ranked for all five of her seasons. 

She returned to the All-WCC First Team as a junior and cracked the United Soccer Coaches All-West Region First Team as a senior, leading her team to 13 shutouts – one short of a program record. 

Returning to college for a fifth year, Watson was placed on the Mac Hermann Trophy – essentially a National Player of the Year award – Watchlist and continued racking up personal accolades as her college career came to an end with her graduation in 2022 with a communications major.

She contributed heavily all four years, scoring the game-winning goal of the conference tournament as a freshman and appearing in all 24 games, starting in the final 14. 

She started every game her sophomore season — the only one in which Williams did not lift the national title, ending its season in the Elite Eight — and did the same as a junior, assisting the lone goal in the national championship game. 

Though her collegiate career would be cut short when she tore her ACL four games into her senior season, she shifted into a player-coach role and her contributions helped lead the Ephs to a third national title. 

Graduating with a Bachelors of Arts in History, Turner-Wyatt shifted her focus to coaching, serving as an assistant coach for Mudd-Scripps College before eventually becoming head coach for St. Joseph’s University-Brooklyn for the 2023 season.
