Houston Dash forward Kealia Ohai was voted the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) Player of the Week by the NWSL Media Association for Week 17 of the 2016 NWSL season.
Ohai, 24, tallied four goals in two games last week to take over the league scoring lead. The forward opened the week with two goals to help the Dash earn a 3-1 win against the Boston Breakers Wednesday at Jordan Field in Boston and notched two more against the Orlando Pride Saturday at BBVA Compass Stadium to help the Dash win 4-2.
The Draper, Utah native scored her first goal of the week in the third minute against Boston when she received a pass from Dash forward Carli Lloyd inside the box and shot it far post past the hands of Breakers goalkeeper Jami Kranich.
