The Houston Dash were handed a tough 4-1 loss by the Portland Thorns in their last match at Shell Energy Stadium, a result that exposed ongoing struggles in their 2025 campaign. They’ll now look to regroup as they host a promising Bay FC side this weekend.
In just their second NWSL season, Bay FC has built on their impressive 2024 debut, showing growth despite some inconsistency. They recently notched a solid 2-0 win over Angel City FC, with Penelope Hocking and Caroline Conti both scoring — a testament to their attacking depth.
Zambian striker Racheal Kundananji remains a key threat up front, having just ended a five-game goal drought with a strike against Seattle Reign. Hocking adds pace and creativity on the wing, while Conti has emerged as a composed presence in midfield, capable of both creating and finishing chances.
As the Dash look to bounce back, they’ll need to keep a close eye on Bay FC’s attacking trio in what promises to be a high-stakes matchup for both sides.
