The Houston Dash contrived to throw away a 3-1 lead, with just eight minutes left to play, but still managed to leave the Zion Bank stadium with their heads held high, earning a point in a 3-3 draw. The Royals had initially taken the lead when a revitalized Diana Matheson tucked home a clever first time pass from Amy Rodriguez.
On the stroke of halftime Veronica Latsko managed to breach the Royals’ left channel and latch on to a hopeful Katie Naughton long ball. Latsko slid the ball across to Rachel Daly, who took a touch and lashed the ball home from close range.
