It just clicked and all came together tonight,\u201d midfielder Wayny Balata said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Heather Stainbrook opened the scoring for Dallas in the 25th minute on a strike assisted by Camryn Lancaster. The tally flipped the roles from Trinity\u2019s lone goal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/sports\/fc-dallas\/2026\/01\/31\/dallas-trinity-fc-draw-against-brooklyn-fc-in-1st-match-under-new-coach-nathan-thackeray\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/sports\/fc-dallas\/2026\/01\/31\/dallas-trinity-fc-draw-against-brooklyn-fc-in-1st-match-under-new-coach-nathan-thackeray\/\">last week against Brooklyn<\/a>, when Lancaster scored on an assist from Stainbrook.<\/p>\n<p>Sports Roundup<\/p>\n<p class=\"dmnc_features-cta-social-article-cta-social-module__3beff secondaryRoman secondaryRoman-20 text-center text-gray-dark\">Get the latest D-FW sports news, analysis and opinion delivered straight to your inbox.

Balata scored just eight minutes after the break to double Trinity\u2019s lead. She then assisted Lauren Flynn\u2019s strike in the 71st minute to make it 3-0. The talented 18-year-old Sealey Strawn of Prosper capped the impressive performance with a goal in the 86th minute.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">The lopsided victory kept Dallas firmly inside the playoff places at third position in the league table. It also brought them closer to second-placed Sporting JAX which lost Saturday to DC Power FC. With a game in hand, Trinity is just four points behind Jacksonville in second place and six points off Lexington SC atop the table.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">&#8220;It\u2019s an excellent group that\u2019s constantly wanting to learn and get better. If they want to grow, then the opportunities for them are endless. I\u2019m really happy for them tonight,\u201d Thackeray said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Trinity will have a chance to make up ground in the table next Saturday when they take on league-leading Lexington on the road.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"dmnc_features-article-body-embeds-subject-tag-list-with-images-list-with-images-module__P4zn3 inline-block pr-8 shrink-0 w-auto flex flex-col\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/sports\/fc-dallas\/2026\/01\/31\/dallas-trinity-fc-draw-against-brooklyn-fc-in-1st-match-under-new-coach-nathan-thackeray\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"aspect-ratio:190 \/ 127\" class=\"dmnc_features-article-body-embeds-subject-tag-list-with-images-list-with-images-module__6H-hI dmnc_images-modern-image-module__QFaG- max-w-full h-auto text-white dmnc_images-modern-image-module__9Zlll bg-gray-light object-contain\" width=\"190\" height=\"127\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1770547452_300_TZ5XK37G5JCDBBD6BFV4TMIPZ4.jpg\" alt=\"Dallas Trinity FC's Camryn Lancaster runs with the ball against Brooklyn FC on Saturday,...\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/sports\/fc-dallas\/2026\/01\/31\/dallas-trinity-fc-draw-against-brooklyn-fc-in-1st-match-under-new-coach-nathan-thackeray\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dallas Trinity FC draw against Brooklyn FC in 1st match under new coach Nathan Thackeray<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Forward Camryn Lancaster broke free in the 58th minute to score Dallas\u2019 only goal of the afternoon.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"dmnc_features-article-body-embeds-subject-tag-list-with-images-list-with-images-module__P4zn3 inline-block pr-8 shrink-0 w-auto flex flex-col\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/sports\/fc-dallas\/2026\/01\/20\/dallas-trinity-fc-hires-nathan-thackeray-as-new-permanent-head-coach\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"aspect-ratio:190 \/ 127\" class=\"dmnc_features-article-body-embeds-subject-tag-list-with-images-list-with-images-module__6H-hI dmnc_images-modern-image-module__QFaG- max-w-full h-auto text-white dmnc_images-modern-image-module__9Zlll bg-gray-light object-contain\" width=\"190\" height=\"127\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1770547453_521_6Q2GSJ3EN5EBFDMX4MNI7RX4UM.png\" alt=\"Logo for Dallas Trinity FC women's soccer team.\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/sports\/fc-dallas\/2026\/01\/20\/dallas-trinity-fc-hires-nathan-thackeray-as-new-permanent-head-coach\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dallas Trinity FC hires Nathan Thackeray as new permanent head coach<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The club also announced the signing of three new players to bolster the squad for the second half of the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/topic\/dallas-trinity-fc\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Find more Dallas Trinity FC coverage from The Dallas Morning News here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dallas Trinity FC rolled past Fort Lauderdale United FC with a 4-0 road victory as four different players&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39355,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[26584,26583,17149,249,251,250,110],"class_list":{"0":"post-147972","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-lauderdale","8":"tag-brief","9":"tag-dallas-trinity-fc","10":"tag-fc-dallas","11":"tag-fort-lauderdale","12":"tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","13":"tag-fort-lauderdale-news","14":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147972","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=147972"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147972\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39355"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=147972"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=147972"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=147972"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
