Lexington SC returned to the win column last weekend with a 2-0 win over Fort Lauderdale United FC. The team has been one of the league’s most consistent sides this season and features one of the league’s top scorers in Catherine Barry, who has recorded 10 goals and is among the leaders in the Golden Boot race.
Brooklyn’s attack has been led by Catherine Zimmerman and Rebecca Cooke, who are tied for the team lead with six goals apiece, while Sam Kroeger leads the club with five assists.
The men will take on Louisville City on Saturday.
Brooklyn has already had three players recognized in the USL Championship team of the week through the first three weeks of the season. Juan Carlos (JC) Obregon Jr. earned the honor in Week 1, while So Nishikawa and Markus Anderson were selected in Week 3.
Louisville is one win away from becoming the first club in USL Championship history to record 200 regular-season victories.
