The Houston Dash are just a day away from beginning their Challenge Cup campaign in Utah. After the news that the Orlando Pride would be dropping out due to a COVID-19 spread amongst its staff, the NWSL had to reconfigure the remaining eight participating team schedules. The Dash will now kick off their tournament against the hosts, the Utah Royals, on Tuesday June 30th at 11:30 AM CT.
The change in schedule has aided the Dash’s chances of a higher seed for the elimination round. Along with the Royals, they will face the OL Reign on the 4th of July, Sky Blue FC on July 8th and then finally Washington Spirit on July 12th.
