Sporting JAX could clinch home playoff game this weekend
Sporting Club Jacksonville’s women’s team could achieve another milestone in their season of firsts.
Sporting JAX’s first-ever playoff game could be a home game, if they win their match against Spokane Zephyr FC and Carolina Ascent FC needs to either lose or tie with Dallas Trinity FC.
In their inaugural season, Sporting JAX is currently the best team in the Gainbridge Super League with 47 points, followed by Lexington SC with 40. Carolina Ascent FC is currently third with 39 points, and Dallas Trinity FC is fourth with 32 points.
Sporting JAX has one of the best offenses in the league. The club currently leads the league in goals scored, with three players in the top five: Ashlyn Puerta, Paige Kenton, and Baylee DeSmit.
