Following defender Madison Wolfbauer’s 74th-minute penalty kick strike to equalize, Power FC was unable to battle back from Spokane Zephyr’s 84th-minute goal off the corner kick, resulting in a 1-2 loss at Audi Field.
“That match was a tough loss for us to lose in that manner with that type of a goal close to the end of the game,” Nana said. “If you look at how we played, the ideas that we wanted to execute we executed. The players played very well and controlled a lot of the tempo which was big for us.”
Against Spokane, goalkeeper Morgan Aquino appeared in her sixth consecutive start and continues to be a dominant force in goal. Aquino leads the league with the fourth most saves (52) and clean sheets (five).
Defender Susanna Fitch is another pivotal player on Power FC’s back line, having started in and played every minute of each match this season.
“Sue is one of the backbones of this team,” Nana said. “She wants to be on the pitch for every minute of every game. It speaks to how well she takes care of herself, takes care of her body, rests well, trains well and recovers well.”
Tuesday’s match marks forward Gianna Gourley’s second time facing her former club. Since Power FC’s last match against Fort Lauderdale United FC on April 18, Gourley’s started in every match and scored the lone goal in DC Power Football Club’s road matchup against Brooklyn FC on April 26 to seal the District’s first win of the Spring season.
“She fits into our game model and she fits into our system,” Nana said. “She’s a huge testament to what hard work and belief does and she’s a big part of our team. We’re very lucky to have her for the second half of our season.”
