A first half goal from Washington Spirit midfielder Joanna Lohman was enough to secure a victory over the Houston Dash at Maryland SoccerPlex.
On the winning goal Spirit midfielder Christine Nairn crossed the ball into the edge of the six-yard box in the 39th minute for her first assist of the season. Lohman was unmarked as she headed the ball inside the near post for her second goal of the season.
Dash defender Cari Roccaro made her first start of the season after making her Houston debut last week in Houston’s 2-1 victory at Kansas City.
