Kealia Ohai, Rachel Daly and the Dash hit it the season opener out of the park.
One goal in each half provided the difference as Houston defeated the Chicago Red Stars, 2-0, Saturday afternoon at BBVA Compass Stadium.
Ohai, who scored an NWSL best 11 goals in the final 10 games of last season, picked up where she left off by scoring early in the first half Saturday. Daly carried over her great preseason form with yet another impressive strike for an insurance goal in the 80th minute.
Both celebrated their goals in the same way – by throwing up an imaginary ball and then swinging an imaginary bat to hit it.
