The Dash's record unbeaten streak ended Saturday afternoon with a 2-1 loss to Portland Thorns FC at Providence Park.
The Dash (6-8-2) had not lost in their previous six games, but conceding two goals in the first half Saturday was too much to overcome. They remain in sixth place, though could drop in the standings depending on Saturday's late results.
Portland (8-7-4) climbed into a first-place tie. That could change with the Chicago Red Stars and North Carolina Courage still to play Saturday night.
Saturday afternoon, Portland scored the opener in the 12th minute when Emily Sonnett tapped in a ball headed toward the goal.
