Gainbridge Super League Team of the Month – October

November 5, 2025 by GainbridgeSuperLeague.com Staff

The Gainbridge Super League announced the Team of the Month for October on Wednesday, with Carolina Ascent FC midfielder Audrey Harding earning Player of the Month honors.

Harding was a playmaker for the Ascent during its undefeated month, recording three assists and creating 11 chances. She scored the lone goal in the 1-1 draw against Lexington SC, and she tallied an assist in all three of the team’s wins in October.

GK: Hope Hisey, Spokane Zephyr FC – Hisey returns to the Team of the Month for the second-straight month after recording two clean sheets and 21 saves across four matches to lead Spokane to second in the standings.

D: Jill Aguilera, Carolina Ascent –The defender guided the backline every minute last month, winning 25 duels and slotting home a game winner to help Carolina take home all three points against Brooklyn FC on October 18.

D: Sydney Studer, Carolina Ascent – Studer maintained 87% passing accuracy across all 360 minutes for Carolina last month, while also adding 24 clearances and 24 duels won during the team’s unbeaten run.

D: Hannah Sharts, Lexington SC – Sharts has become a cornerstone of Lexington’s defense, playing every minute and making 22 clearances. Her long throw-ins have also been valuable, as seen in the 5-1 match against Fort Lauderdale on October 16.

D: Reese Tappan, Spokane Zephyr FC – Tappan led the league in passes (291) and finished second in clearances (24) last month to help Spokane earn two clean sheets and five points.

M: Alexis Theoret, DC Power FC – Theoret continues to dominate the midfield for DC Power, winning 19 duels and nine tackles at high success rates. She also created four chances and tallied a late assist on the equalizing goal against Spokane.

M: Sydny Nasello, Tampa Bay Sun FC – Nasello controlled the midfield for Tampa Bay last month, recording one goal, one assist and winning 24 duels across her 262 minutes on the field.

M: Ashlyn Puerta, Sporting JAX – The Golden Boot leader added two more goals to her account and tallied two assists, contributing to four of Sporting JAX’s seven goals last month.

F: Audrey Harding, Carolina Ascent FC – The forward led Carolina’s attack last month, recording one goal, three assists, nine shots, 10 interceptions and 11 chances created. Harding is now tied for first all-time in regular season assists with nine.

F: Rebecca Cooke, Brooklyn FC – The Irish international came up big for Brooklyn last month, scoring an equalizer in two different matches. She also tallied an assist, seven shots and 13 duels won.

Coach: Philip Poole, Carolina Ascent – After a winless stretch to start the season, Poole led Carolina to a 3-0-1 record in October, ending with back-to-back road wins to move into third place in the league standings.

Bench: Leah Scarpelli (BKN), Georgia Brown (JAX), Addie McCain (LEX), Jasmine Hamid (FTL), Ally Cook (SPK), Paige Kenton (JAX), Kat Asman (LEX)

What to watch for in each Week 10 matchup

October 30, 2025 by De Turner

With the FIFA international break behind us, Week 10 of the Gainbridge Super League season kicks off tonight. Eight teams are competing across four consecutive nights of action, so here’s one thing to watch for in each match.

SPKvCAR: Which team scores first

In the series between Spokane and Carolina, scoring first has proven to be the key to winning. Aside from one scoreless draw, the winning team scored first in each of the other four matches. Additionally, the momentum seemed to shift to the team with the lead; only once did the losing team even get on the board, and it was a late penalty kick to bring the score to 2-1.

The challenge for Carolina – and most other teams in the league – is the difficulty of getting past Spokane’s stout defense. Ascent was held scoreless by the Zephyr last month, even while recording more shots. But Spokane isn’t necessarily an attacking powerhouse. The team has scored 10 goals across 10 matches, tied for the lowest goals-per-game mark in the league. Thursday’s match will likely be low-scoring but tightly-contested and could swing either way.

LEXvJAX: How JAX performs without Puerta and Brown

Sporting JAX is set to face Lexington for the first time this Friday as the seventh team attempting to end the Girls in Green’s undefeated streak. However, the visitors will be without their star midfielder and center back Ashlyn Puerta and Georgia Brown. Both players have competed in nearly every minute this season but will be unavailable on Friday due to international duty.

Paige Kenton and Jade Pennock have combined for goals multiple times this season and will likely pick up the offensive load without Puerta. On the defensive end, Grace Phillpotts and Julia Lester will have to step up to cover for Brown, who leads the team in clearances and blocks. If JAX can take down a team like Lexington without two of its starters, it’ll add even more credence to how good the expansion club can be the rest of the season.

BKNvFTL: Brooklyn’s first-half offense

All 12 of Brooklyn’s goals this season have come in the second half, and while it doesn’t hurt to be a comeback team, Brooklyn could be much farther up in the standings if it jumped on teams a little earlier. Its best match of the season was its opener against Tampa Bay, and although it was scoreless at halftime, the first 45 built a lot of momentum that Brooklyn used to net two goals to start the second half.

It would be especially advantageous to strike early on Saturday as Fort Lauderdale plays its first full match without starting goalkeeper Bella Hara, who is serving a red card suspension. FTL UTD has barely had to play from behind this season, but we saw what happened when Lexington jumped to a 2-0 lead by the 25^th minute in Week 9.

DALvDC: Star strikers

Both Dallas Trinity and DC Power are in winless ruts right now. Dallas has played just one league match in the past month and has fallen down the standings after its strong 3-0-0 start. DC hasn’t won since opening night and is earning just a point per game through seven contests. The spark for both teams is often provided through their strikers and all-time leading scorers, Allie Thornton and Gianna Gourley.

Thornton has been off to a slow start this season, scoring half the number of goals she had at this point last year, but Dallas as a whole has scored five less goals through its first seven games compared to last season. Returning to the Cotton Bowl after a five-match road stretch might give Thornton and Dallas the energy they need to find the back of the net.

As for Gourley, she tends to rise to the moment when DC needs her most, as we saw with her equalizer in the fifth minute of second-half stoppage time against Spokane in Week 9. Surprisingly, eight of her 11 goals in the league have been scored on the road, so she will surely look to get past Dallas’ backline on Sunday.
