On September 26, the Houston Dash hosted the Orlando Pride in the second game of their fall series. The game gave Houston their first points and a win.
The Dash dominated from the start. Nichelle Prince got the scoring started in the 27th minute to put the Dash up 1-0. The Pride would answer in the 45+3 minute with a goal by Marissa Viggiano to tie the game going into halftime.
The second half again favored the Houston Dash. In the 48th minute, Deneisha Blackwood of Orlando is given a yellow for a bad foul. A penalty in the 54th minute on Orlando's Viggiano resulted in a penalty kick. Sophie Schmidt of the Dash scored to put Houston up 2-1 in the 55th minute. Another yellow card would seal doom for Orlando as Jordyn Listro is called for a bad foul in the 68th minute.
Houston would seal the victory in the 72nd minute on a goal by Shea Groom.
Next up for Houston is a home match against the North Carolina Courage. That game is Sunday at 6. Fans can catch the game on Twitch.
Can Houston get a win over Carolina? If we play like we did the last time, a win is very possible. The final game for Houston is a trip to Orlando as Houston closes out the Fall Series.
