The Houston Dash extended their eight-game unbeaten streak against Orlando Pride this evening with a 2-1 victory at BBVA Stadium.
Houston opened the scoring in the 18th minute when forward María Sánchez punched a ball in the net to score her first NWSL goal. Houston midfielder Kristie Mewis dribbled through the Pride defense and crossed a ball into the box to find Sánchez, who scored past Orlando goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris and into the right corner.
Houston came close to scoring two minutes later when Mewis served a ball into the box to find forward Veronica Latsko, who shot but was blocked by Harris.
