Undefeated Against DC

In the most recent matchup, the Sun delivered a hard-earned 2-0 victory in Washington, D.C.. The consistent results prove Tampa Bay’s strong ability to match up well against DC as the club looks to carry that success into tonight’s matchup.
Sun Continue to Fight
Tampa Bay Sun FC entered its last matchup riding the club’s first two-game winning streak after consecutive road wins against Dallas Trinity FC and DC Power FC, a run that lifted the Sun to eighth in the Gainbridge Super League standings. The streak ended in a 2-1 loss to Carolina Ascent FC, a physical and highly competitive match marked by heated exchanges between both sides and officials. A late goal from the Sun sparked momentum as the team pushed for an equalizer in the closing minutes.
Continued International Presence
Tampa Bay Sun FC goalkeepers Sydney Schneider and Braelynn Galt have been called up to represent their international teams. Schneider has been called up to Jamaica’s senior national team and Galt has been selected to join Scotland on their U19 national team.
