The beer is flying, the confetti angels are still sculpted on the grass and the Houston Dash are Challenge Cup champions. The first to ever do it.

It was a chaotic start to the final. Chicago were punchy right from kick off. Less than one minute in and the first chance of the game fell to Savannah McCaskill at the back post.
