The Dash traveled to Orlando this weekend desperate for a win and after a physical match, Houston gets to leave Florida with what will be only their third win all season bumping their stats to a 3-7-0 record.
The first half was arguably the most physical of the two with plenty of fouls from both lineups which eventually resulted in a yellow card being given to Janine Van Wyk. Late in the first half, Carli Lloyd found the back of the net for her first goal of the season with an assist from Poliana giving the Dash the lead heading in to halftime.
