There was some excitement leading into Boston’s first home game after the Olympic break. They were coming off, if not a hot streak, then a moderately warm one, and they’d just had a pretty thorough performance against one-time NWSL champions FC Kansas City. For their part the Dash were struggling and so even though it was a bottom of the table clash, one team was on an upswing and the other was trying to tread water.
