A Sold-Out Atmosphere: We showed love to the best fans in the league with a roaring home opener crowd of 4,016 strong! From the first whistle to the final minute, the energy at Truist Point was electric, proving why our community is the heartbeat of this club.
Attacking Firepower: Anthony Sumo Jr. opened his 2026 account with a powerful strike off a set piece, followed by an instinctive one-touch finish from Ricardo Montenegro. With 18 total shots and 11 corner kicks, the pressure was constant throughout the afternoon.
New Connections, Big Impact: The midfield saw immediate chemistry as newcomer Thomas Raimbault provided a brilliant assist for our second goal. While the result didn’t go our way in the final minutes, the technical growth and high-press identity of this squad continue to show immense promise for the season ahead.
Onto the Open Cup: The beauty of soccer is the quick turnaround. We shift our focus immediately to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, as we prepare to host Virginia Dream at Truist Point this Thursday.
We always play for the Core.
