DC Power FC and Dallas Trinity FC shared the points in a 1–1 draw in USL Super League action on Thursday night. Loza Geinore opened the scoring for the hosts in the 17th minute, but Bethany Balcer pulled Dallas level just before halftime to ensure the spoils were split.
The match's early moments carried an edge. Dallas midfielder Heather Stainbrook picked up a yellow card in just the seventh minute, setting a physical tone. DC Power capitalized on that energy ten minutes later when Geinore found the net to give the home side the lead. It was a deserved reward for a bright start from Power FC, who controlled the opening stretch.
Dallas, though, refused to go into the break behind. In the 44th minute, Balcer converted from an Alexis Missimo delivery to level the score at 1–1 — a crucial goal right on the cusp of halftime that shifted the momentum heading into the interval.
The second half produced fewer clear-cut moments. Claire Constant was cautioned for DC Power in the 58th minute as both sides battled for a winner, but neither team could find the breakthrough. The game settled into a tighter, more cagey affair, and the final whistle confirmed what the second half had suggested — neither side had enough to separate themselves.
The draw keeps both DC Power FC and Dallas Trinity FC searching for the kind of consistency that wins in this league, with points shared rather than claimed in a contest that was decided by its first-half action.
