STATESBORO, Ga. – South Georgia Tormenta FC’s USL W League team visits the SC United Bantams this Saturday, June 18, at 5 p.m. ET. This battle between the top teams in the division can either solidify first place or apply pressure on both teams throughout the remainder of the season. South Georgia’s straightforward 4-0 win in Peachtree City Thursday night was the team’s desired result in order to continue its playoff push.
Braces from Allie Rathbun and Amy Andrews helped Tormenta FC get their third win of the USL W League season with a statement performance from South Georgia on the road. MOBA stood no chance against Tormenta FC’s offensive powerhouse commanded by Amy Andrews and Allie Rathbun; a powerful performance by the defensive unit helped South Georgia prevail over a winless MOBA team.
Captain Sydney Martinez continues her form in goal; the goalkeeper from the University of Southern Florida added her fourth clean sheet on Thursday, meanwhile Amy Andrews leads the South Central Division in goals alongside Callie O’Connor with five goals scored.
SC United is on a five-game winning streak, leading the division with 17 points. A 4-0 win against Tennessee SC has given the Bantams a five-point cushion between first and second place. With five defeats and two draws, South Carolina is the only remaining unbeaten team in the division.
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.
