Tough night for the Suns after 2-0 loss against DC power on Youth Sport Night. Although the Suns didn’t secure the three crucial points, the fans brought consistent energy throughout the entire match on April 11th, 2026.
While this loss did not translate to how the game was played the reigning USL Super League champions are now out of contention to qualify for the playoffs. With both goals made in the first half and within minutes of each other, DC took advantage of a weak moment in the game and ran with it until the final whistle. The second half the Suns demonstrated their superiority however the pressure to perform well and desperation to clutch those three points ultimately lead to their defeat.
Jordyn Listro, captain of the Tampa Bay Suns, said the team performed better in the second half, but the ball wasn’t falling in their favor.
“So you could see that frustration when the ball bounced the other way and didn’t get in the back of the net,” said Listro.
