Orange & Blueprints - The End of the Road
Welcome to the Orange & Blueprints Podcast — your go-to source for all things Houston Dash and women’s soccer in the Bayou City!
In this episode, Manny and Diego wrap up their thoughts on the Houston Dash’s final regular-season match — a 2-0 defeat to the Portland Thorns that officially brought the Dash’s season to a close. While the playoffs slipped out of reach, the hosts reflect on what was learned from the first season of the Fabrice Gautrat era — from the team’s evolution and growing identity to the standout performances that defined the year. They also highlight players who left their mark, including Avery Patterson and Yazmeen Ryan, and look ahead to what the future might hold for the Dash in 2026 and beyond.
From game highlights to player interviews, strategy breakdowns, and the latest news surrounding the Dash, we’ve got it all covered. We can’t wait to share this season with you and keep you connected to the action on and off the field. Stay tuned for all things Houston Dash and women’s soccer – it's going to be an unforgettable season!
And much more!
