NEWS & NOTES
TWO LATE GOALS SECURE FIRST WINS
As Week 9 kicked off, DC Power FC and Lexington SC were still looking for their first victories. In a dramatic finish, both teams found the back of the net in the dying moments of the match, earning their inaugural wins. Now, every club in the league has at least one win to celebrate.
DC’s breakthrough came in the eighth minute of stoppage time against a tough Brooklyn FC side. The forced own goal came off a nicely placed corner kick from Katie Duong in the final moments of the match.
In a back-and-forth battle, Lexington SC’s Sydney Shepard scored the game-winner in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time to defeat Spokane Zephyr FC 3-2 for the club’s first win in club history.
FIVE FOR PEREZ
Lexington SC defender Madison Perez assisted on the club’s game-winning goal in Week 9, recording her league-leading fifth assist of the season. All five of her assists have been on set pieces.
HOME AND AWAY
Brooklyn FC and Carolina Ascent FC will see each other twice this week, first in New York and four days later in Charlotte, NC. Both clubs started the season hot but have cooled down in their last couple matches respectively. Carolina remains the only unbeaten team, but will Brooklyn rain on their parade?
