Royals defeat Dash 2-0 for fifth straight NWSL win
SANDY, Utah (AP) --- Clo Lacasse and Courtney Brown both scored and the Utah
Royals stretched their winning streak to five straight games with a 2-0 victory
over the Houston Dash on Wednesday night.
The Royals (5-2-1) are unbeaten in six straight and off to the best start in
the National Women's Soccer League club's history. Utah has four straight
shutouts.
The Royals took the lead on Lacasse's goal off a pass from Mina Tanaka in the
38th minute. It was Lacasse's third goal of the season and second in as many
games.
Tanaka fed Brown for the second goal to secure the win in the 88th minute,
beating Dash goalkeeper Jane Campbell nearly one-on-one. It was Brown's first
goal of the season.
Campbell finished with five saves for the Dash (3-1-3). Mandy McGlynn made two
saves for the Royals.
Utah has scored in 16 straight matches dating back to last season, a club
record.
