The Lane United FC Women kicked off their 2025 home campaign in front of a home crowd at Civic Park with a performance that set the tone for what’s to come. On a beautiful Wednesday night the Reds wasted no time making a statement, dominating from start to finish in a commanding 4–0 shutout.
Lane United came out strong in the first half, controlling possession and setting the tempo early with sharp, connected passes. Within the first ten minutes, they had already registered four shots on goal and were controlling the midfield. Lane’s backline played smart and composed, pushing forward when the opportunity arose and shut down any Bigfoot advancements. Despite several missed chances, including a close one-on-one with the keeper, the Reds continued to apply pressure. Their persistence paid off in the 43rd minute when #25, Alyssa White found the back of the net with a skillful finish in the box. The goal gave Lane a deserved 1–0 lead at the half after racking up 11 shots and holding Bigfoot to just one.
The second half began and Lane maintained their momentum, staying a step ahead and breaking up Bigfoot’s limited possession with quick, decisive play. In the 68th minute, a foul in the box on #8, Niamhie Talyor-Hughes set up #10, Trinity Morales for a clean penalty kick into the right corner. Lane’s attack stayed relentless, and in the 80th minute, White delivered a clever through ball to Taylor-Hughes, who slotted it in for a 3–0 advantage. Another near chance from Morales kept the pressure on before #9, Kenady Leighton sealed the match with a stunning goal from 35 feet out, falling over the keeper’s head and into the net off the cross-bar. Your Reds ended the match with 21 shots on goal while, Bigfoot FC managed just one. It was a dominant performance from start to finish.
Lane United now hits the road for their next matchup on June 1st against Tacoma Galaxy. The team will look to bring the same energy and control as they travel for their third away match this season. Then on June 4th they return to Civic to host the West Seattle Rhodies. GET TICKETS!
