GAME NOTES

Lexington SC is facing off with Spokane Zephyr for the second time in club history. The first time the pair met was during LSC's lengthy road trip, with the Greens winning inside One Spokane Stadium.

LSC is led in its inaugural season by head coach Michael Dickey. Dickey is the club's first women's professional coach, with Michelle Rayner serving as women's sporting director and Ben Willis and Maren McCrary being Dickey's assistants.

The first time these teams met, Shea Moyer, Marykate McGuire, and Sydney Shepherd all found the back of the net in a 3-2 winning effort. The result was the first ever win for the LSC women's professional squad.

Madi Parsons was named USL Super League Player of the Month for the month of October, becoming the first Green to ever earn the honor in the USL Super League. Parsons logged an assist in the club's loss to Tampa, bringing her total up to four goals and four assists for eight goal contributions on the year. Parsons is co-leading scorer of the squad alongside Sydney Shepherd, who she assisted in the Tampa match.

Emina Ekic is the woman to watch for Spokane Zephyr FC. Ekic was one of two goal scorers in Spokane's 3-2 loss to Lexington SC in Washington, having logged two goals and two assists this season in seven games played, Ekic is a well-traveled star, logging 21 appearances and eight goals with Melbourne City FC in the Australian Women's A-League last season while also having over 50 appearances for Racing Louisville FC in the NWSL.
