Sky BLue Dashes off to Houston

By Sean McCaffery, August 23, 2019

The first half and some later images out of their record setting game in Red Bull Arena, a tie with the Reign are up on our Facebook and now on a 2 game streak without a loss as earlier they downed the Red Stars 2-1 they look to defeat the expected Southern Inhospitality in Houston. Yahoo Sports and NWSL.com will have the game. Sky Blue are the clear underdog with their 13 points leaving them a trio of teams behind the Dash. It has been a very even series at 6-6-3, a win will give them 3 games without a loss, a feat not achived since 2017. Killion has been a rock at midfield with 162 steal most among all players this season, since 2016 she is tops with 586. The young guns of the team are turning it up, Monaghan had her first goal as a pro, the GWG in the 2-1 Chicago game. Julie Doyle, her initial assist setting up that same goal & Kenie Wright her first assist in the game at RBA. The Dash dropped the Pride 1-0 as St John's Alum and Lioness Rachel Daly converted a pk, she has 5 goals over 9 games facing Sky Blue tops of all opponents. Not much home cooking this year for Houston as they have won but 2 of the 9 games there, but 2 wins of 1-0 with Sky Blue. WIth 17 goals, the hometeam has the 3rd lowest shot conversion rate league wide. Daly leads the team with her 5 goals, Huerta has created over 30 chances on the year and 3 assists.
