DC Power FC vs. Fort Lauderdale United FC: Preview, time, and how to watch

DC Power FC will take the field tonight in their final home match of the season as they host Fort Lauderdale United FC. With just three matches left in the season, DC Power has one final opportunity to give the home fans a win.

They are fighting a Fort Lauderdale United team that, at 10W-8L-7D and 37 points, are fighting hard to rise up to that final playoff spot. DC Power interim coach Phil Nana knows that the match won’t be easy, but it’s a chance for his team to finish out the season on a strong note. “This team has grown in confidence, it’s grown in ability and in togetherness much more than it was when we had the 1-1 draw against Fort Lauderdale,” Nana said in comments released by the team. “We know it won’t be an easy game; it’s never an easy game at this level. We’re going to have to fight, suffer and work hard but we believe we can get a winning result no doubt against Fort Lauderdale and that’s our mindset going into it.”

It will be the second time this spring that forward Gianna Gourley, who was acquired from Fort Lauderdale United during the midseason break, faces her former team. She has been a huge positive since she joined the team. “[Gourley] 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.” On the other side, it’s the return of former DC Power forward Jorian Baucom, who returns to Audi Field for the first time since she was acquired by Fort Lauderdale during the midseason break.
