TAMPA, FL - Dallas Trinity FC (10-10-7, 37 points) earned a crucial 2-0 road victory over Tampa Bay Sun FC (5-13-9, 24 points) on Saturday evening at Suncoast Credit Union Field. With the result, Dallas strengthened its hold on the fourth and final playoff position with just one regular season match remaining. DTFC can clinch a postseason berth later tonight with a Spokane loss vs. DC.

Dallas wasted no time asserting itself in what was essentially a must-win match. Defender Samar Guidry opened the scoring in just the second minute with a strike from outside the box, netting her first professional goal, off an assist from midfielder Camryn Lancaster. Guidry's goal (1 minute, 32 seconds) goes down as the fastest goal in club history.

DTFC continued to dictate play throughout the opening half and doubled its advantage in the 27th minute when Lancaster buried her fourth goal of the season, tied for the team lead, following a well-placed through ball from academy forward Sealey Strawn. Dallas carried a 2-0 lead into halftime.

Dallas maintained control throughout the second half to secure its seventh clean sheet of the season in its third and final regular season meeting with Tampa Bay. With the result, Trinity FC is now 4-5-5 in the spring portion of its schedule and 5-5-4 on the road this season.
