The Dash's bid for a second consecutive road victory fell short in Maryland on Saturday night. Joanna Lohman scored on a header in the 39th minute to give the Washington Spirit a 1-0 victory.
Washington (4-0-1, 13 points) continued its undefeated season and remains on top of the NWSL standings. Houston (2-2-1, seven points) had a chance to pull even with the Spirit with a victory.
The Dash return to Houston this week for two consecutive home games. The first is Friday at 7:30 p.m. against the Orlando Pride. The Dash and Pride met in Orlando on April 23 with Orlando taking a 3-1 victory.
