The Houston Dash provided a few of their own fireworks in a 2-0 win over the OL Reign, celebrating the 4th of July in grand style. Newcomer Shea Groom provided the spark with a goal and an assist in the win.
It was Groom’s nifty back heel pass to an onrushing Kristie Mewis that put Houston on the board in the 12th minute of the game. Groom then flew through the box unmarked to head home a Rachel Daly service in the 54th minute.
Head coach James Clarkson could not have drawn a gameplan up any better and he had his team more mentally prepared just four days after relinquishing a two goal lead in the final eight minutes of regulation.
