Carolina Ascent FC earned a 1-0 victory on the road against DC Power FC in USL Super League action on Saturday, with Mia Corbin's first-half strike proving the difference.

The opening half hour passed without a breakthrough, but Carolina found the opener in the 35th minute. Corbin finished from an Addisyn Merrick delivery to put the visitors ahead and give DC Power a deficit to chase. Four minutes later, Carolina's Mackenzie George picked up a yellow card as the match grew more physical heading into halftime.

DC Power came out for the second half needing a response but struggled to find one. Carolina Ascent managed the game well after taking the lead, and despite having 45-plus minutes to find an equalizer, the hosts could not break through. No further goals came, and the final whistle confirmed a frustrating afternoon for DC Power at home.

The clean sheet will be a source of pride for Carolina's backline, which held firm across the entire 90 minutes without conceding a clear-cut opportunity that resulted in a goal. For DC Power, the inability to convert pressure into anything meaningful in the second half will be a concern moving forward.

The three points on the road give Carolina Ascent FC valuable momentum in the USL Super League standings, while DC Power FC will look to regroup quickly after a home defeat that underlines the need for sharper finishing in the final third.
