Dash fall to Racing Louisville FC, defeat Orlando Pride

On June 20, the Houston Dash faced expansion team Racing Louisville FC and fell 1-0 after not playing for two weeks due to an international break.

Louisville would score the only goal in the 71st minute when Ebony Salmon found her way through two defenders and scored at the top of the goal box.

On June 26, which also was LGBT Pride Night, the Houston Dash came out with their second win of the season. Houston defeated Orlando 2-1. Houston has yet to lose to Orlando after 8 meetings so far.

Houston opened the scoring in the 18th minute when Tigres loaner Maria Sanchez punched the ball past Orlando keeper Ashlyn Harris. Houston would test Harris again in the 20th minute, but the goal was denied. Veronica Latsko would score the second goal in the 27th minute on a header from Sophie Schmidt.

The Dash tested Orlando early and often throughout the match.

Orlando’s only goal came in the 49th minute when Gunny Jonsdittor headed a ball off a pass from Marta.

The Dash return to BBVA Stadium July 2 when the OL Reign come to town.

Houston hopes to make it two wins in a row as well.
