Rachel Daly’s near hat-trick effort saved Houston’s slim playoff hopes. The Houston Dash forward tallied a brace to lead the Houston Dash to a 2-1 victory over Sky Blue FC on Saturday night.
With a one goal lead and 30 minutes left in the match, Houston looked poised to earn three points but then things became difficult. Madison Tierany followed up Savannah McCaskill’s initial shot, with a strike into the open goal to equalize for Sky Blue in the 64th minute.
The Dash earned a penalty kick in the 77th minute after Daly’s cross was deflected with a handball inside the box.
