Boston Breakers drop needed points in 1-0 loss to Houston Dash
Starting XI: Abby Smith, Allysha Chapman, Julie King, Megan Oyster, Brooke Elby, Adriana Leon, Angela Salem, Morgan Andrews, Midge Purce, Rosie White, Katie Stengel
The Boston Breakers clearly remembered their last game against the Houston Dash, almost earning three points on the road but getting a goal called back after the referee perceived a handball in the box. After a lengthy weather delay, they came out of the gate pumped, dominating play for the first 20 minutes of the game. Interestingly, Matt Beard went with Katie Stengel as his highest forward, leaving usual striker Natasha Dowie on the bench.
