Head Coach

Fabrice Gautrat - 5

Gautrat said before the match that every game in the NWSL is difficult, and that proved true once again. Houston showed resilience to fight back for a point, but they struggled more than expected against the league’s bottom side. While the comeback was encouraging, draws are no longer enough at this stage of the season, and the Dash need to start turning performances like this into three-point results.
