Overview
- The teams finished 0-0 in Houston on Friday in driving rain as Seattle’s Claudia Dickey and Houston’s Jane Campbell each recorded five saves.
- Dickey turned away rookie Kat Rader’s free kick in the seventh minute, stopping Houston’s best early look and setting the tone for a low-chance night.
- The draw moved Seattle to 3-2-2 and Houston to 3-2-1 in the National Women’s Soccer League standings.
- Seattle played without veteran Jess Fishlock after a lower-leg injury, and coach Laura Harvey says the setback is not season-ending.
- Houston has led the league in expected goals and in possessions won high up the field this year, yet the slick pitch and steady shot-stopping limited their usual threat.
