STATESBORO, Ga. – After obtaining its first win in team history, South Georgia Tormenta FC’s USL W League squad will travel to face Southern Soccer Academy this Friday, May 27, at 7:30 p.m. ET in Marietta, Georgia. Tormenta FC and Southern Soccer Academy are currently tied for first in the W League South Central Division with four points, and South Georgia now looks for another winning result to solidify its position as the sole leader of the division.
Notably, Head Coach Jim Robbins will have a complete roster for the first time this Friday with all players now settled successfully.
Last Wednesday, May 18, Tormenta FC defeated Tennessee SC 2-0 on the road with forward Amy Andrews scoring a brace to help the squad earn its first three-point result. Andrews recorded South Georgia’s first W League goal after converting a rebound from her missed penalty. Just before the final whistle, Andrews secured herself a brace with a beautiful volley off of a corner by Hannah Farmer.
Southern Soccer made its W League debut at home against Peachtree City MOBA this past Tuesday, May 17, in a 1-1 draw, followed by taking down Tennessee SC 3-1 on the road Friday, May 20. Lavinia Horning was SSA’s lone goal scorer in its home opener, and Callie O’Connor is another player to watch tonight as she scored a hat trick versus Tennessee.
In June of 2021, Tormenta FC was named a founding member of the USL W League, an elite pre-professional pathway for women looking to build their careers both on and off the pitch. For two decades between 1995 and 2015, the W League saw some of the biggest names past and present in the sport compete on the field, and this new era will build on the legacy of its predecessor. In alignment with the USL League Two season, the W League will kick off in May and end with the W League Playoffs and W League Final in late July.
