Carolina Ascent W enters this match on the back of an impressive run of results, having secured convincing wins in their last five matches, including a commanding 5-2 victory away at Fort Lauderdale United W.

Under the guidance of coach P. Poole, Carolina Ascent W has demonstrated a potent attacking style combined with a solid defensive foundation.

Their away performances reveal a team capable of grinding out results, as seen in their recent 1-0 win away at Dallas Trinity W and a solid 3-0 victory at Lexington W.

Tampa Bay’s tactical approach tends to emphasize disciplined defending and quick counterattacks, leveraging their squad’s athleticism and resilience on the road.
Examining the Carolina Ascent W vs Tampa Bay Sun W head to head record in their last five finished encounters reveals a slight advantage for Tampa Bay Sun W, who have won two of the three completed matches, including a narrow 1-0 victory earlier this year.
