It's been another day of action for Bermudian footballers across the Atlantic, with Khano Smith's Rhode Island FC continuing their strong form, while Leilanni Nesbeth watched from the sidelines as Chicago Stars FC fell to defeat. Meanwhile, Nia Christopher's Fort Lauderdale United FC snapped a winless streak with a crucial away victory.
Smith's Rhode Island FC Cruise Past Tampa Bay
Khano Smith, the head coach of Rhode Island FC, saw his team extend their unbeaten run to four games with an impressive 3-0 victory over Tampa Bay Rowdies. Following their midweek win against Birmingham Legion, Rhode Island FC continued their strong momentum, securing their second consecutive win on the road. The victory also sees Rhode Island take the lead in their all-time series against Tampa Bay, now holding a 2-1 advantage.
Nesbeth Unused as Chicago Stars Fall in North Carolina
Leilanni Nesbeth was an unused substitute as her Chicago Stars FC travelled to face the North Carolina Courage. Despite recent strong performances, the Stars were unable to secure three points on the road, falling to a 2-0 defeat against the Courage. Nesbeth will be hoping for a return to the pitch in their upcoming matches as Chicago look to climb the league table.
Christopher's Fort Lauderdale United Secure Vital Away Win
Nia Christopher was not in the squad, but her Fort Lauderdale United FC teammates earned a crucial 1-0 away victory over Lexington SC. The win snaps a six-match winless streak for Fort Lauderdale at a pivotal point in the inaugural USL Super League season. The lone goal came early in the first half via an own goal. Fort Lauderdale United now sit poised to make a late push with just three matches remaining, with a midweek clash against DC Power FC next on their schedule.
