The Houston Dash jumped out to an early lead, but two second-half goals pushed the visiting Utah Royals FC to a 2-1 victory this evening at BBVA Compass Stadium.
The Dash struck first when MF Sofia Huerta drove a free kick that found FW Veronica Latsko at the far post in the 41st minute and Latsko’s headed a shot back across the face of goal to beat Royals GK Nicole Barnhart, despite Barnhart getting a touch on the ball. Huerta drew a foul near midfield and took the ensuing free kick to tally her third assist of the season.
