Sporting Jax opened their season with a convincing 2-0 victory over Dallas Trinity FC, a result that kept the team unbeaten and propelled them to the top of the Gainbridge Super League.
Early Heroics
Baylee DeSmit continued her hot start, striking from 20 yards out to extend her scoring streak and become the league’s leading scorer after four goals in three appearances.
Midfielder Cat Rapp made a memorable debut, threading a precise pass that set up a one‑on‑one breakaway and earned an assist in her first match.
Goalkeeper Jamie Gerstenberg recorded her second shutout of the campaign, despite Dallas squandering a penalty kick that rattled wide in stoppage time.
Depth and Determination
All‑League selection Paige Kenton missed a second straight game, yet Sporting Jax still managed 14 shots, underscoring the squad’s depth and attacking firepower.
With the win, the club climbed to first place in the eight‑team league and now prepares to travel to Washington, where they will meet DC Power FC at Audi Field on September 4 at 7 p.m.
