STATESBORO, Ga. – May 17, 2024 – South Georgia Tormenta FC’s W League takes on NC Courage’s U23 team at 6:00 p.m. Sunday, May 19 at WakeMed Soccer Park.
Recipe Review
Tormenta FC won its season opener with a resounding 0-5 score against Fayetteville Fury. Players will look to keep this momentum against NC Courage to secure a second early-season win. NC Courage has not yet played a regular season match, making Sunday’s match its season opener.
Key Ingredients
Forward Carlyn Presley played a key role in the last match, scoring a goal and applying pressure to Fayetteville’s backline. Presley also won the fan-based vote for Tormenta FC’s Player of the Match based on her strong performance in the season opener.
Midfielder Ellis Nemtsov also netted a goal of her own in the last match, while also making integral supportive plays for both forwards and defenders. Her experience playing with the U17 and U19 Israeli National Teams gives her a unique perspective to the pitch and makes her a formidable opponent.
Foe’s Formula
NC Courage defender Kayleigh Herr, who spent time training with the U.S. Youth National Team Camps, could pose a risk for Tormenta’s strikers. Her strong defensive plays will attempt to counteract South Georgia’s advances.
