Summer Yates scored in the 67th minute and the visiting Orlando Pride beat the Houston Dash 1-0 on Friday night in the National Women’s Soccer League to extend their league-record unbeaten streak to 18 straight dating to last season.
The Pride (12-0-5) stayed at the top of the league table with the win.
“Obviously pleased with the win, pleased with the three points,” Pride coach Seb Hines said. “We continue our momentum from the last away game against Kansas so overall, pleased with result.”
Yates received a long pass from Angelina that slipped behind Houston’s defense. She went one-on-one with goalkeeper Jane Campbell and finished calmly into the right corner.
The Dash (3-9-5) had a chance to equalize soon after, but Andressa’s header from close range went off the post.
Campbell made seven saves for Houston.
“I think we can play a lot better; the performance wasn’t quite there,” Hines said. “But one thing with this team is their attitude, their mentality. Even toward the end, the calmness to keep the ball and run down the clock was great.”
