Washington Spirit dominate Houston Dash in 3-0 victory
Trinity Rodman puts the game to bed for Washington Spirit
Trinity Rodman's stunning finish puts Washington Spirit out of sight.
Ashley Hatch scored twice and Trinity Rodman added another goal in Washington Spirit's commanding 3-0 home win over the Houston Dash on Sunday.
Hatch opened the scoring in the seventh minute with a penalty kick after Allysha Chapman conceded a handball in the box. She got the brace in the 26th minute with a close-range finish from a cross by Rodman. The duo continued to shine as Rodman netted an impressive long-range strike just after halftime, sealing the game for Washington (14-2-4).
For Houston (3-5-12), it was another tough outing as they struggled to break down Washington's defense. Diana Ordóñez had their best chance but missed wide with a header late in the first half. Jyllissa Harris managed one shot on target that was saved by Aubrey Kingsbury, who made two saves overall for her clean sheet.
Up next: The Washington Spirit face the Kansas City Current on Friday in Kansas City, Mo. The Houston Dash host the Seattle Reign on Saturday.
