Take a deep, deep breath. The Dash are back in the win column.
Houston traveled to the DMV on Saturday in desperate need of a win against the Washington Spirit, and a heat index of 97 degrees at kickoff meant that both sides would have to conserve their energy if they were to put together a strong performance for the full ninety. The result was a wild affair that featured a disallowed goal, weather delay, comeback effort, and a penalty save in the dying minutes.
Despite the stifling conditions, the women in orange had a bright start to the game with an energetic high press, and they were successful in turning the Spirit over in good positions in the opening minutes.
