The Houston Dash suffered their first home loss of the season as they fell 2-0 to the North Carolina Courage at BBVA Compass Stadium this afternoon.
Australian international Kyah Simon made her debut for the club and forward Kealia Ohai returned to the Starting XI for the first time since last June when she suffered a season-ending injury in Orlando, but the addition of those two attacking threats was not enough to lift the home side past the league leaders.
North Carolina got on the board in the third minute with a long throw-in from forward Jessica McDonald, which bounced inside the penalty area and found forward Crystal Dunn at the edge of the six-yard box for her third goal of the season.
