DC Power FC edged Lexington SC 2–1 in a USL Super League clash that stayed tight until a frantic finish in stoppage time. Loza Geinore opened the scoring in the 18th minute for the hosts, Emily Colton doubled the lead in the 91st, and Catherine Barry pulled one back for Lexington moments later in the 92nd — but it proved too little, too late.
Geinore gave DC Power the early advantage, converting from an Emma Jaskaniec delivery to make it 1–0 before the 20-minute mark. From there, the home side carried the slim lead through the rest of the first half and deep into the second without finding a killer second goal. Lexington, for their part, couldn't find an equalizer either, and the match appeared destined to end 1–0.
Then stoppage time changed the complexion entirely. Colton struck in the first added minute to put DC Power 2–0 up, seemingly sealing the three points beyond doubt. Lexington responded almost immediately, though. Barry finished from a Regan Steigleder pass in the second minute of added time to cut the deficit to one. It injected late urgency into the final seconds, but Lexington ran out of time to mount a full comeback.
The only booking of the night went to DC Power's Tatum Thomason in the 52nd minute.
The victory gives DC Power FC a valuable three points at home and reinforces their standing in the USL Super League as the season pushes deeper into the fall stretch.
