On Monday, the Houston Dash announced their roster to start 2018. The team has nine players returning from last season. Vera Pauw, the team’s new head coach, has brought in a number of new international players for a club total of six players occupying international roster spots.
Glaringly absent from the Houston Dash roster is Christen Press who the team had acquired during a blockbuster trade at this year’s college draft from the Chicago Red Stars. The team made the trade without talking with Press and recently it came out that the USWNT star has no interest in playing in Houston.
