HOUSTON, TEXAS (April 7, 2019) On Saturday, April 30, the Houston Dash faced off against the Texas Tech women's soccer team at Houston Sports Park in their final tune up test prior to their 2019 campaign.
The Dash looked strong during and after the 5-0
win over the Red Raiders. Their five goals were scored by five different players. New head coach, James Clarkson was quoted after the
scrimmage saying,
“We want to be competitive, we want to win games, we want to
scores goals.”
That is exactly what his team did. Goals were scored by NWSL
veterans Kealia Ohai (No. 7 above) and Sophie Schmidt as well as rookies Jamia Fields and
Cece Kizer.
The Dash’s passing game is improved greatly
over last year’s open practice and the new leadership’s visions are being
recognized. The Texas Tech goalkeeper, Marissa Zucchetto, had her hands full as
the Dash peppered goal attempts time and time again. She was able to deflect
many of these attempts only allowing the five goals.
This year’s open practice scrimmage was very
well attended. Fans enjoyed music, balloon animals and free shirts. The team
stuck around after the practice to sign autographs and encourage everyone to
come out to the season opener. The Dash will kick off their 2019 season against the Seattle Reign on Sunday, April 14 at BBVA Compass Stadium, with a 5 p.m. CDT start.
