A coaching change did not have the desired effect for the Dash.
Five days after coach Randy Waldrum was fired, the Dash on Saturday night lost to the Washington Spirit, 2-0 at the Maryland SoccerPlex in Boyds, Md.
It is the fifth consecutive loss for the Dash (2-6) and drops them to the bottom of the NWSL table, the spot previously occupied by Washington (2-5-1).
Acting coach Omar Morales had impressive backing from the players in the week leading up to the game, but watched as they fell behind in the third minute.
