DC Power FC came from behind in the final minutes to claim a 2–1 victory over Tampa Bay Sun FC in USL Super League action on November 1. Loza Geinore opened the scoring for the visitors before Tori Waldeck equalized for Tampa Bay, but Alyssa Walker struck late to seal all three points for DC Power.
The first half was a scrappy affair. Tampa Bay picked up two early yellow cards — Shea Connors in the 12th minute and Brooke Hendrix in the 33rd — and were made to pay before the break. Geinore found the net in the 42nd minute, finishing from a Samantha Cary delivery to give DC Power a 1–0 lead heading into halftime.
The second half saw both sides trade cautions, with DC Power's Justina Gaynor booked in the 49th minute and teammate Tatum Thomason following her into the referee's notebook in the 74th.
Tampa Bay pushed hard for a leveler and got it. Waldeck converted from a Jordan Zade assist in the 83rd minute to make it 1–1, momentarily lifting the home crowd. The equalizer seemed to swing momentum firmly in Tampa Bay's favor.
It didn't last. Just four minutes later, Walker restored DC Power's advantage, latching onto a pass from the previously cautioned Thomason to make it 2–1 in the 87th minute. Tampa Bay's Denise Schilte-Brown was booked in the same minute, compounding the frustration for the hosts. There was no time for another comeback.
The result gives DC Power a valuable road win and leaves Tampa Bay Sun FC searching for answers after a late collapse at home.
