Firsts: Both Sheyenne Allen and Mollie Rouse recorded their first goals of the season in the matchup.
On a Roll: Jasmine Hamid recorded an assist in her second straight match.
QUOTES:
FTL UTD Head Coach Tyrone Mears:
On the big win... “I think from the start, it’s a new team, a new way of playing, so it takes time. Obviously, you want to win every game while you’re doing that, but I think my real focus is the second half of the season. We want to pick up as many points now, but I know second half of the season… in terms of the players being confident in how we want to play and really knowing exactly what they need to do.”
Spokane Zephyr Head Coach Jo Johnson:
On tonight’s loss…“We didn’t execute well enough in the critical plays in the box on either end of the field. In a league where most games are decided by one goal, those key moments made the difference, and our execution fell short.”
Spokane Zephyr goalscorer Mollie Rouse:
On scoring her first professional goal… “I am super happy to score my first goal for the club, it’s something I have been working toward,” Rouse said. “We are obviously disappointed with the final result and will work hard to put things right in our next game against Tampa. Lots more to come from us!”
DAL 2 – 0 TB
GOALS:
Carlee Giammona (TB, OWN GOAL) 66’.
Allie Thornton (DAL) 68’.
STORYLINES:
Sixth: Allie Thornton netted her team-leading sixth goal of the season.
Second: The victory propelled Dallas into second place in the standings.
Home Sweet Home: Dallas remains unbeaten at home.
QUOTES:
Dallas Trinity Head Coach Pauline MacDonald:
On the victory… “We knew that both teams liked to play a tactical game. It was going to be about concentration, decision-making, and staying in the game as long as we could. In the second half, we tweaked a few things and talked a little bit more about decision making in the final third and being more aggressive in our press. We asked for ninety minutes of high concentration on both sides of the ball. All in all, I’m absolutely delighted for the players.”
WEEK 18 STORYLINES
FALL FINALE
In the Fall…
- The Super League kicked off on August 17 in front of three sold out crowds.
- Including this weekend’s match up there will be 52 Super League matches in the Fall.
- Currently 118 goals have been scored with 54 goal scorers.
- Addie McCain leads the Golden Boot race with 8 goals, accounting for more than half of FTL UTDs goals this season.
- We saw an 11-match unbeaten streak by Carolina Ascent to open the season.
- Brooklyn is currently riding a five-match win streak – the longest in league history.
#1 VS #2 SHOWDOWN
The final day of the Fall Schedule will showcase four matchups, including the marquee meeting between #1 Brooklyn FC and #2 Dallas Trinity FC at the Cotton Bowl at 3:30 p.m. ET. Dallas is unbeaten at home while Brooklyn is riding a five-match winning streak.
What’s on the line? With a win or draw, Brooklyn would go into the break as the clear leader in the standings. If Dallas gets the victory, it will tie Brooklyn atop the standings at 26 points, and goal differential could come into play to determine which team takes the No. 1 spot.
