Pace means picking up tempo, starting with today’s fixture against New York City FC at Bank of America Stadium. The opportunity is to build momentum with three home matches before the World Cup break.

Carolina Ascent FC is finding heroes everywhere.

Emily Morris’ first professional goal lifted the Climbers to a 1-0 win last week against Lexington SC to run their unbeaten streak to seven matches. They're also a point out of third in the GSL standings.

Carolina Ascent FC is on a roll.
The Climbers, who will put their six-match unbeaten streak on the line Saturday against Lexington SC at Memorial Stadium, have been gaining points on the Gainbridge Super League’s top tier. https://t.co/IuhEdM1VZl

[Queen City Football Chronicle @QC_FC]

Saturday’s Nashville-Charlotte FC match is a test of depth.
Nashville, which has a date in the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinals against Club América, played a 0-0 draw and will likely present a rotated lineup. Charlotte is without Wilfried Zaha.
