Late penalty-kick save preserves shutout as Tampa Bay Sun ties DC Power

TAMPA — Goalkeeper Ashley Orkus turned in a seven-save shutout, stopping a penalty kick in the final minutes, as Tampa Bay Sun FC tied DC Power 0-0 Saturday night at Riverfront Stadium on the campus of Blake High School.

Though Orkus’ efforts kept the Sun (0-0-2) unbeaten, they continue to seek their first victory of their inaugural USL Super League season.

“We are still trying to show Tampa who we are,” Orkus said, “and we still haven’t done that.”

The Sun came out flying in the first half, dominating possession and not allowing DC’s offense to build anything from its backfield.
