HOUSTON, TEXAS (May 16, 2020) If professional sports had not been shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Houston Dash would be hosting the Utah Royals this evening at BBVA Stadium in Houston. It would have been the seventh meeting between the two squads.
They first met in 2018, in the Royals inaugural season. The Dash hosted Utah on March 30 at BBVA Stadium with neither team finding the goal; resulting on a 0-0 draw. In their next meeting on May 19 at Rio Tonto Stadium in Sandy Utah, the Royals came out on top 1-0. In their final meeting of 2018, again in Houston, the Dash dropped a 2-1 decision, with Veronica Lasko scoring the first-ever Dash goal against Utah.
In 2019, Houston and Utah met for three games, with the Dash winning their first two meetings of the season. On May 11 in Utah, Rachel Daly tallied a brace; scoring in the 42nd and 50th minute to give Houston a 2-1 victory in their first-ever win over the Royals. On September 13, Houston received their second win over Utah; another 2-1 decision with Sophia Huerta scoring the brace in the 27th and 62nd minute. In their final matchup of 2019, Utah came out on top by the score fo 2-1 in Utah. Kristie Mewis scored for Houston in the 78th minute.
Utah and Houston are also scheduled to meet on July 3 in Utah and August 22 in Houston. Time, and the "powers that be," will determine of any of these games will be played.
