Dash dominate Courage; Undefeated at home

Coming off a win over Orlando Pride SC, the Dash hoped to keep the momentum alive on October 4 against defending league champions North Carolina Courage. From the start, the Dash came out firing.

The scoring started with a goal by Canadian Sophie Schmidt in the 30^th minute on an assist by Kristie Mewis. This put the Dash up 1-0 and the scoring was only getting started. Coming off a 2019 season-ending ACL injury, Veronica Latsko put the Dash up 2-0 in the 37^th minute. Mewis again got the assist.

The Dash were up 2-0 at the half and would not look back. Kristie Mewis, who already had two assists, put Houston up 3-0 on a Latsko assist in the 60^th minute.

A yellow card issued to Dash player Shea Groom in the 70^th minute did not seem to send the team into a slump.

Houston would allow North Carolina to get on the board in the 74^th minute. Lynn Williams was assisted by Ryan Williams, but it was not enough.

In the 83^rd minute, Shea Groom would put the game away for good with a goal and assist by Kristie Mewis.

The Dash wrap up the Fall Series in Florida on October 9 at 4:00pm. Fans can catch the action on CBS Sports Network. With a win, Houston could pass up second place Washington Spirit or first place Portland Thorns. If Portland loses and the Dash win, the first-place prize of $25,000 could be ours.
