Red Stars knock Dash out of first place
In the team's first-ever game defending its spot atop the National Women's Soccer League, the Houston Dash surrendered two goals in the first 15 minutes in a 2-1 losing effort against the Chicago Red Stars at BBVA Compass Stadium on Sunday.
"The first 20 minutes we came out slow. It's the slowest we've come out the whole time I've been with the group," coach James Clarkson said. "To give a team like this a two-goal start, we dug ourselves into a really big hole. But I think the response from the players was fantastic. They didn't give in and we could just as easily have gotten beaten by four or five there."
