Allie Thornton and Gracie Brian scored as Dallas Trinity FC<\/a> beat DC Power FC 2-1 at the Cotton Bowl Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cGetting the win was huge. It was really nice to score some goals and put together threatening chances. I think it wasn\u2019t always the prettiest, but good teams find a way to win, that\u2019s what we did,\u201d Thornton said. <\/p>\n

Dallas won its second consecutive game following its 2-0 victory over Spokane Zephyr FC on Nov. 15<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thornton opened the scoring in the 10th minute, firing home a low driven cross from Chioma Ubogagu to give Trinity the early lead.<\/p>\n

DC got back on level terms 11 minutes later as Gianna Gourley scored to tie the game at 1. <\/p>\n

Dallas took the lead for good in the 33rd minute through Brian. The midfielder headed home a cross from Samar Guidry to finish off a move started from a free kick set piece.<\/p>\n

Trinity made the most of its opportunities, grabbing the win despite being outshot 17-9 and only managing 34.3% of possession in the match.<\/p>\n

The win puts Dallas just one point off Fort Lauderdale United FC in the final playoff spot and with a game in hand. Trinity\u2019s next game is against Carolina Ascent FC on Saturday, Nov. 13.<\/p>\n
