Sky Blue FC (0-14-4, 4 points) returned to National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) action on Saturday night, dropping a 2-1 result to the Houston Dash (7-8-5, 26 points) at Yurcak Field in Piscataway, New Jersey. Rachel Daly scored twice in the contest to secure the win and keep Houston’s playoff hopes alive as the club sits four points back from fourth place in the NWSL standings.
“Defensively, we struggled to find spaces between the lines in the first half, and we had some lapses in our timing when it came to defending as a unit,” said Sky Blue FC head coach Denise Reddy.
