Brooklyn, New York, April 29, 2026 \u2014 Brooklyn FC<\/a> Women travel to Florida this weekend for a decisive matchup against league leaders Sporting JAX on Sunday, May 3 at 5:00 PM ET at Hodges Stadium in Jacksonville.<\/p>\n

Sporting JAX enters the contest atop the league table with 47 points and an explosive attack averaging two goals per match. <\/p>\n

Their offensive strength is highlighted by a trio of top scorers dominating the league leaderboard: 19-year-old midfielder Ashlyn Puerta (12 goals), forward Paige Kenton (10 goals), and Baylee DeSmit (9 goals). <\/p>\n

In addition to their scoring prowess, Sporting JAX also leads the league in playmaking, with Puerta, Kenton, and midfielder Meg Hughes tied for the top spot in assists.<\/p>\n

Kroeger has created 27 chances this season, consistently driving Brooklyn\u2019s attacking opportunities.<\/p>\n

The squad has shown resilience against top competition, going unbeaten in its last two matches against strong Dallas Trinity side with one win and one draw. Brooklyn FC Women will look to channel that same determination and intensity as they take on the league\u2019s top team in a high-stakes clash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brooklyn, New York, April 29, 2026 \u2014 Brooklyn FC Women travel to Florida this weekend for a decisive…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":214358,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-214357","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214357","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=214357"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214357\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/214358"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=214357"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=214357"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=214357"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
