Perfect Start: DC Hyper Opens the Season with Two Wins and a Clear Identity Under Sergio Caetano

Two matches. Two wins. Five goals scored. Zero conceded.

DC Hyper has launched its 2025 UPSL DMV North Premier campaign with authority — a stark contrast to last season’s start, when the team stumbled in the opener before bouncing back. This year, there was no hesitation. The Thunder came out firing and never looked back.

Under the leadership of Head Coach Sergio Caetano, now in his fourth season at the helm and his third full year in D.C., DC Hyper has matured into one of the most consistent and disciplined squads in the region. The team’s identity — rooted in Brazilian technical flair and a high-press, collective style — has become unmistakable.

“The difference now is trust in the process,” said Caetano. “We’ve built something over time, and the players believe in the model. They know their roles, and they execute with intensity and purpose.”

The season opener saw DC Hyper cruise to a 3-0 win over Hybrid FC, followed by a commanding 2-0 victory away against longtime rivals Bridge Sports — the very team that eliminated them last season. Forward Jio Mora led the way in the second match, netting both goals in a standout performance, while the team as a whole demonstrated tactical cohesion and defensive control.

Beyond results, the early success highlights the effectiveness of long-term planning and player development — key pillars of Caetano’s tenure. With a roster built on balance, depth, and attacking mindset, DC Hyper is not just winning games — they are setting a tone.

Next up, the club faces Touch Kings on Saturday, April 19, at Edgewood Rec Center, looking to extend their perfect start and continue building momentum.
