A first half flurry of goals helped Racing Louisville FC’s W League team defeat Kings Hammer FC by a 5-0 score Wednesday at the Lynn Family Sports Vision & Training Center.
Louisville’s record now stands at 5-1-1 in the nation’s premier pre-professional women’s soccer circuit.
University of Louisville forward Brooke Dardano scored in the 6th and 8th minutes before providing an assist to Betsy Huckaby in the 17th minute. Huckaby delivered an assist to Ella Sanchez right before the half. Caitlin Chase added a fifth goal for Racing in the 59th minute off a service from Sam Agresti.
With the result, Racing (16 points) moved to first in the Valley Division, even on points with Indy Eleven (16 points), which plays tomorrow. The first-place finisher from each division will advance to the USL W League playoffs in July with one wild card spot for a second-place finisher.
With a roster comprised of college standouts and Racing youth academy talents, the club is seven games through a 10-match W League campaign. Next up, Louisville will travel to St. Peters, Missouri, to face St. Charles FC at 4 p.m. Sunday. The two clubs will face off again at Lynn Family Sports Vision & Training Center Saturday, June 24 at 4 p.m. in Racing’s final home match of the W League season.
