The future looks bright for Houston’s professional women’s soccer team.

Playing since 2013, the Dash won the 2020 NWSL Challenge Cup and were the league’s Community Shield Runners-up, too. But the team had never made the NWSL playoffs until this season.
In the eight-team 2022 playoffs, the #4-seed Dash (10-6-6) played the #5-seed Kansas City Current in the quarterfinal round at PNC Stadium in Houston on October 16. The Current prevailed, 2-1, advancing to the semi-finals whether they beat the regular-season champ, OL (Seattle) Reign. KC’s run stopped there when #2-seed Portland beat the Current on Saturday, October 29, to claim the 2022 NWSL title.
Things are looking up for pro women’s soccer in Houston, and I do not doubt that the Dash will soon bring a world title to Houston.
