The Dash already were going to be well represented at tournaments around the world in the coming weeks, but Wednesday's call-up of two Canadian players added to the list.
Janine Beckie and Nichelle Prince will travel with Canada to the Algarve Cup in Portugal. It is a 12-team tournament that includes four of the top eight teams in the FIFA world rankings. Canada leads the way at No. 4.
Beckie and Prince were on the Canada Olympic team that won a bronze medal last summer. They are both allocated to the NWSL by Canada Soccer, meaning the Dash to not pay their salaries.
