STARTING XI: Jami Kranich, Kylie Strom, Kassey Kallman, Rachel Wood, Brooke Elby, Kristie Mewis, Louise Schillgard, Angela Salem, Kyah Simon, Eunice Beckmann, Natasha Dowie
Another bad night for Boston as they attempted to gain some control over the end of their season.
It was the conclusion of a rough travel stretch of home-and-away games, with the added cherry on top of missing two key defenders in Whitney Engen and Julie King. Head coach Matt Beard started Rachel Wood next to Kassey Kallman, but Houston’s offense gave Wood fits all night long. Kealia Ohai in particular kept penetrating the back line, turning the corner around a defender to either shoot or cross.
