Even after an almost two-hour lightning delay on Wednesday night at BBVA Compass Stadium, the Dash's Rachel Daly was ready to play.
Minutes after the Dash (5-6-5) and the Orlando Pride (7-6-4) took the field following the stoppage, Daly kicked a ball over the Pride's diving goalkeeper and into the back of the net. This was the first of the defender's two goals of the night, and it gave Houston the early lead en route to a 3-1 victory.
Forward Kealia Ohai sparked the fastbreak and found a sprinting Daly on the other side of the field.
