DALLAS — Dallas Trinity FC delivered a composed, businesslike performance at home, defeating Spokane Zephyr FC 3-1 and reinforcing its position in the Gainbridge Super League playoff race.

Dallas (9-8-5, 32 points) remains fourth in the standings, holding firm in the final playoff spot while inching closer to third-place Carolina Ascent FC. The gap behind them widened as both DC Power FC and Spokane (6-9-8, 26 points) failed to gain ground.

The hosts controlled the rhythm for much of the night, finishing with 60.2% possession and outshooting Spokane 17-13. While both sides placed five shots on target, Dallas proved more clinical when it mattered most.

Defender Amber Wisner broke through early in the second half, finding the back of the net in the 48th minute for her third goal of the season. The tally matched her output from the previous campaign and gave Dallas a spark coming out of the break.

Spokane attempted to respond with increased pressure, but goalkeeper Tyler McCamey stood firm. She recorded four saves on the night, continuing a steady run between the posts that has now seen her collect 28 saves across nine appearances this season.

Dallas put the match out of reach deep into stoppage time. Midfielder Jenny Danielsson capitalized in the 91st minute, finishing off a sequence that began with McCamey, who was credited with her first assist of the year on the play.

The match also marked the debut of forward Jasmine Hamid, who entered in the 67th minute after joining the club earlier in the week. In total, 16 players saw action for Dallas as the club leaned on its depth to close out the victory.

The win improves Dallas to 3-1-0 against Spokane this season and continues a strong all-time edge in the series.

Dallas will look to carry that momentum onto the road next weekend, traveling to face Brooklyn FC on April 12 at Maimonides Park.
