JACKSONVILLE, Fla.<\/strong> \u2013 Sporting JAX made history in its inaugural season, but the wait for a playoff win will continue. <\/p>\n

The Carolina Ascent made a goal six minutes in stand up to deny host Sporting JAX in a 1-0 game at Hodges Stadium in the Gainbridge Super League women\u2019s playoff semifinals on Sunday night. The Ascent moves on to the championship match, while Sporting JAX enters the offseason celebrating a historic first season. <\/p>\n

Mackenzie George scored the only goal on a close range shot for Carolina. It marked Ascent\u2019s second win over Sporting JAX in as many games. Carolina beat the local team 3-1 in the regular season finale on May 16.<\/p>\n

Sporting JAX was far more aggressive throughout the match, outshooting Carolina 17-10 and more than doubling the Ascent on corners (nine to four). But Sporting JAX couldn\u2019t get anything to fall. It finished its first season with a 16-8-5 record. <\/p>\n
