DC Power FC claw back to get draw against Tampa Bay Sun
DC Power FC was able to fight back to gain a road point with a 1-1 draw on Saturday night against the Tampa Bay Sun. Claire Constant's 63rd minute goal was enough to offset Jordan Fusco's 23rd minute opening goal to allow both teams to share the points. The match started slow, with both teams struggling to get their footing and momentum.

Happy Thursday everyone. Yesterday, like most Wednesdays, I spent a good chunk of time thinking about what to talk about here in the intro. I always aim for something pithy, if not directly related to what follows. I was all set to write about how messy these Olympics have been, with the "doping" scandal, the Norwegian biathlete who used his bronze medal interview to reveal his infidelity, and the French biathlete accused of stealing her teammate's credit card info.

Happy Monday, y'all. I had to sleep in a bit cuz I was still hyped from Bad Bunny's performance at the Super Bowl last night. Now that I have my double shot of coffee, let's get to the news: DC Power had their spring opener down in Jacksonville, and they're coming home with 3 points after Alyssa Walker's substitute goal proved to be the winner in a 1-0 final.

DC Power FC @ Sporting Jacksonville: Preview, time, and how to watch
DC Power FC is back. The spring season gets underway for them this afternoon when they take on Sporting Jacksonville on the road. It's their first match since December 20th, and they have certainly been busy since then, with several roster moves made to set up the team for success. Sporting director Steven Birnbaum has indicated that the club wants to be better at finishing scoring opportunities and to be faster on the attack.

Happy Friday! The big sports news today is of course the Olympic Opening Ceremonies, which I have been looking forward to. Will they be as bonkers as France's in 2024? Probably not, but I am hoping for something entertaining. The games overall are already providing a wealth of topics to discuss (Finnish hockey norovirus! Cleaning bug blood off the curling ice!
