NEW YORK, NY – The Tampa Bay Sun FC played their first game since having their last home match postponed due to the impact of Hurricane Milton in the Tampa Bay region. With a trip North, the Club battled hard but ultimately came up short in a 2-1 loss to Brooklyn FC tonight.
The first 5 minutes saw a duel that put USF Alums face to face as Sydny Nasello found the back of the net on fellow USF Alum and Brooklyn FC goalkeeper, Sydney Martinez. Brooklyn responded with aggressive footwork resulting with a goal of their own from Dana Scheriff in the 29th minute. With continued momentum, Brooklyn strengthened their lead just before halftime when Kristen Edmonds was called for a penalty in the penalty area, which Jessica Garziano converted.
The Sun pushed hard in the second half, creating several scoring chances but were unable to find the equalizer. Despite a late flurry of activity, the match ended with Brooklyn claiming the victory.
