Dash trialists, rookies face tough roads to NWSL contracts

Megan Crosson has been one of the best players on all her soccer teams. Playing time never has been an issue.

It is different now that she is a professional player. Hoping for more minutes last year, she had to travel to Japan and back.

Crosson is back with the Dash this preseason, hoping her second run in Houston helps her land her first full-time NWSL contract. The California native joined the team on a trial basis last season after finishing her degree at Santa Clara.

The outside midfielder appeared in four games at left back, including one start, for the Dash last season while they trudged on without a handful of Olympians.
