The Dash defeated Texas A&M 1-0 this evening at Ellis Field thanks to an 87th minute goal from midfielder Caity Heap. The match was the final preseason contest for the Dash before they travel to the Pacific Northwest for the Thorns Spring Invitational.
Heap scored the game-winning goal in the 87th minute after she controlled a pass outside the box, evaded a defender and beat the Texas A&M goalkeeper with a shot to the bottom corner of the near post.
Dash forward Heather Kaleiohi was inches away from the first goal of the night after her first-touch shot went wide of the near post in the fourth minute.
