Power FC adds Towson University standout Phoebe Canoles, 22, to its attacking ranks ahead of the 2024/2025 season. A native of Perry Hall, MD, Canoles is a three-time All-Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) selection who played five seasons at Towson, amassing 21 goals and 24 assists in 71 appearances. The 5-foot-7-inch forward tallied nine game-winning goals and 214 shots during her collegiate career. Canoles was named team captain as a redshirt sophomore in 2021 and retained that role in her junior and senior seasons while leading Towson to a 2023 CAA Championship and NCAA tournament appearance.
Midfielder Katie Duong, 23, brings a plethora of high-level collegiate soccer experience to the roster, as the Portland, Ore. native suited up for both the University of Minnesota (2019-2020) and Stanford University (2021-2023) during her tenure. Along the way, Duong accumulated numerous accolades, including a 2020 All-Big Ten Second Team selection with the Golden Gophers and a 2022 Pac-12 Championship with the Cardinal, that ultimately led to her being drafted with the 53rd pick of the 2024 NWSL Draft by Portland Thorns. Duong has competed for the United States U20 Women’s National Team (9 Caps) on the international circuit, including scoring a goal and adding three assists at 2020 CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying in the Dominican Republic.
The inaugural Super League season kicks off on Aug. 17, 2024, and will run through Spring 2025, inclusive of a Winter Break hiatus, with the Power FC home opener at Audi Field scheduled for September 13 against Fort Lauderdale United FC.
