BROOKLYN, N.Y. \u2013 Brooklyn FC Women, despite playing with only 10 players for the final 21 minutes of the second half and stoppage time, recorded a 3\u20130 victory over Dallas Trinity in the Gainbridge Super League at Maimonides Park on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Forward Hope Breslin received a red card in the 69th minute.<\/p>\n
Rebecca Cooke paced the attack with a pair of second-half goals.<\/p>\n
Seventh-place Brooklyn FC (25 points) improved to 6-11-7 while fourth-place Dallas (32) dropped to 9-9-5.<\/p>\n
The hosts controlled much of the early tempo, creating several chances through forward Rebecca Cooke and midfielder Samantha Kroeger, while Dallas looked to threaten on set pieces and crosses.<\/p>\n
Brooklyn\u2019s persistence paid off when center back Kelsey Hill broke the deadlock in the 44th minute, finishing from close range following a set-piece situation to give her side a 1-0 lead at the break.<\/p>\n
After halftime, Brooklyn continued to look dangerous in transition. Its second goal came in the 57th minute, when Cooke finished from the center of the box after a well-worked fast break, doubling the advantage.<\/p>\n
Dallas pushed for a response, testing goalkeeper Kelsey Daugherty from distance while earning a series of chances, but Brooklyn\u2019s defensive structure held firm. Even after being reduced to 10 players late in the match, the team remained organized and disciplined.<\/p>\n
Brooklyn put the game beyond reach in the 85th minute when Cooke struck again, this time from outside the box, capping off another counterattack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Overview: Brooklyn FC Women, despite playing with only 10 players for the final 21 minutes of the second…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":178771,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,9025,100,99,77965,19078,77966,9,24,63,77967],"class_list":{"0":"post-195527","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brooklyn","8":"tag-brooklyn","9":"tag-brooklyn-fc","10":"tag-brooklyn-headlines","11":"tag-brooklyn-news","12":"tag-dallas-trinity","13":"tag-gainbridge-super-league","14":"tag-kelsey-hill","15":"tag-new-york","16":"tag-new-york-city","17":"tag-nyc","18":"tag-rebecca-cooke"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195527","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=195527"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195527\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178771"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=195527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=195527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=195527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
