The Houston Dash defeated FC Kansas City 2-1, in front of 3,282 supporters at Swope Soccer Village in Kansas City.
Two quick second-half goals by Chimoa Ubogagu and Denise O'Sullivan propelled Houston to a victory over reigning two-time champions FC Kansas City.
As each goal was notably scored and assisted by a player who wasn't on Houston's 2015 roster, the win helps shine a spotlight on Houston's management and their offseason and preseason acquisitions. The victory is another testament to the series of moves which have proved to revamp the club this season.
