Knowing they were already in the NWSL playoffs, he Houston Dash went to the nation’s capital looking to improve their seed in the postseason.
Houston came out on the front foot and Marisa Viggiano’s class finish gave the Dash an early lead. Ryan Gareis drove forward down the middle and picked out Viggiano in tons of space on the right. The Dash midfielder cut inside on to her left foot and smashed a perfect strike past Aubrey Kingsbury to give Houston the lead after 14 minutes.
Washington fought back and found their equalizer thanks to the ever-dangerous Trinity Rodman.
