After intense rain pushed the start of the Houston Dash’s match at the Washington Spirit back from Saturday night to Sunday morning, the Dash made a third-minute goal stand up for more than 90 minutes as they captured a 1-0 win at Maryland SoccerPlex.
Forward Rachel Daly netted her third game-winning goal of the season and goalkeeper Jane Campbell made a season-high nine saves to lead the Dash to their sixth win of the season. With the win, Houston improves to 6-7-5 on 23 points, six points shy of the playoff line with six matches remaining.
Both sides came out firing from the opening whistle, anxious to get after it following the lengthy delay.
