Different coach, same poor result.
The Houston Dash had zero answers for the Washington Spirit's attack and superior backline, as the Dash dropped their fifth straight match in a 2-0 loss on Saturday at Maryland SoccerPlex in Boyds, MD.
Omar Morales made his debut as interim Dash head coach after Randy Waldrum's departure last week. The change, however, didn't make a difference on the scoresheet as the Dash failed to score for the third time this season.
After 70 minutes of dominant play, Mallory Pugh scored her first professional goal. On a counter-attack, Pugh received a pass from Kristie Mewis and slipped her strike between Lydia Williams legs and into the back of the net.
