BROOKLYN - Dallas Trinity FC (9-9-5, 32 points) came up short versus Brooklyn FC (6-11-7, 25 points) 3-0 on Sunday afternoon from Maimonides Park.

In the third regular season meeting between the sides, the first half unfolded as a tightly contested, low-chance affair. That changed just before the break, when Brooklyn defender Kelsey Hill broke the deadlock in the 44th minute, sending Dallas into halftime trailing 1-0.

Brooklyn carried its momentum into the second half, with forward Rebecca Cooke doubling the advantage in the 57th minute to put DTFC in a 2-0 deficit.

Brooklyn was reduced to 10 players following a 69th-minute red card, giving Dallas a late spark. DTFC put its first shot on target in the 76th minute, with midfielder Lexi Missimo testing the goalkeeper. However, Cooke struck again in the 85th minute to seal a 3-0 result for Brooklyn.

With the result, Trinity FC is now 3-3-3 in the spring portion of its schedule and remains in the Gainbridge Super League playoff picture, sitting in fourth place.

QUOTES

Head Coach Nathan Thackeray

On the result...

"We're still a ways off being anywhere near the team that I want us to be. Obviously we've added players and are playing players out of position based on a couple of injuries here or there. It's a work in progress, I knew this was going to be difficult, but that doesn't make the end result any easier."

Forward Bethany Bos

On moving forward...

"We'll definitely look at what worked and what didn't work. A lot of it didn't work in terms of gameplan, whether that was on our execution or just what we were doing in general. I think that it'll be good to have fresh film and we'll hopefully know where to make adjustments and play the type of football we want to play."

Goalkeeper Tyler McCamey

On the team's mindset...

"Nathan always talks about games being good opportunities. Obviously this isn't the result we wanted but I think it's an opportunity to watch the film, see what worked, go back and workshop it. Everyone's going to be excited to be back here in two weeks, have another go, and try to get a different outcome."
