Ashlyn Harris helped Gotham FC to its first win in three games, with the club defeating Racing Louisville 2-1 Friday at Lynn Family Stadium.

The veteran goalkeeper denied Louisville’s Emina Ekic in the game’s 12th minute to keep the scoresheet level. Reading the set-piece all the way, Harris made a highlight-reel-worthy save to keep Gotham FC in the game.

Harris made a total of seven saves Friday night, with five of those diving saves and three within the box.

Louisville snuck one goal past Harris, but Savannah DeMelo’s finish in the 67th minute wasn’t enough to overcome Paige Monaghan and Taylor Smith’s goals for Gotham.

Harris leads the league in saves per 90 with 4.3, holding a 70.3 save percentage on the season.
