Houston Dash Set for Crucial Clash Against Racing Louisville FC The Houston Dash will conclude their three-match road trip on Saturday, July 18, when they face Racing Louisville FC at Lynn Family Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m. CT, with live coverage available on NWSL+. The match marks a significant moment for both teams, as Houston seeks to build on their recent performance while Racing Louisville aims to end a five-match winless streak. Houston earned their first point of the road trip last weekend with a dramatic 2-2 draw against Denver Summit FC. Forward Kat Rader scored her fifth goal of the season, extending her lead among rookie scorers in the league. Midfielder Linda Ullmark, making her NWSL debut, netted the equalizer in the second half, marking her first goal in the league. Ullmark also contributed an assist, bringing her total goal contributions to three over her last three matches. Midfielder Maggie Graham, who assisted both goals in the draw, was nominated for NWSL Player of the Week, highlighting her impact on the team’s recent success. Rader’s fifth goal of the season has positioned her as the league’s leading scorer among rookies, while Houston’s first-year players have collectively contributed 14 goal-related actions (eight goals, six assists) this season. The team’s ability to score equalizing goals has been a key factor, with six such goals recorded this season. These efforts have helped Houston secure five points from losing positions, the second-highest total in the NWSL. Defensively, Houston continues to rely on captain Jane Campbell, who made eight saves against Denver, including a crucial stop in stoppage time to preserve the draw. Campbell’s performance matched her second-highest save total of the season.#racing_louisville_fc #houston_dash #kat_rader #linda_ullmark #maggie_graham
