Houston Dash News Release

PISCATAWAY TOWNSHIP, NJ - (Saturday) - The Houston Dash (2-6-1, 7 points) return to NWSL action as they travel to the Garden State to meet Sky Blue FC (3-4-4, 13 points). Prior to the bye week, Houston fell to the Orlando Pride on June 23 after a second half stoppage-time goal from Jasmyne Spencer secured three points and the third consecutive victory over the Dash. This was the fifth consecutive game that the Dash lost by a 1-0 score line.

The game is scheduled for a 6 p.m. kickoff at Yurcak Field and the match will be available on HoustonDashSoccer.com/Live.

Like the Dash, the New Jersey club will miss national team players for this match. Kelley O'Hara (USWNT) and Samantha Kerr (Australia) have reported to their national team training camp in preparation for the upcoming Olympic Games. Christie Rampone will be available for this match after she withdrew from the USWNT camp in May. The center back has earned 311 caps for the USWNT, second-most all-time. Houston will be without D Poliana, FW Janine Beckie, MF Morgan Brian, D Allysha Chapman, MF Carli Lloyd, MF Andressa and Lydia Williams. GK Bianca Henninger is projected to earn her first start of the season. MF Megan Crosson, MF Tessa Gavilsky-Florio and GK Kate Scheele are the amateur players called up for this match.

The New Jersey club is led by Christy Holly who is in his first season as the head coach. Holly was previously an assistant coach at Sky Blue FC and brings more than 16 years of coaching experience at various levels in the U.S. and his native Ireland.

Sky Blue fell to Portland Thorns FC 2-1 last Saturday ending a four-match unbeaten streak. Sky Blue forward Tasha Kai scored her second goal of the season in the first half. Taylor Lytle found the Hawaiian striker outside the six-yard box with a chipped ball that Kai guided toward the far post. That was Lytle's fourth assist of the season and she is tied with Washington Spirit's Crystal Dunn and Western New York Flash's Jessica McDonald for the second most assists in the league. In addition to Lytle and Kai, potential impact players include the second overall pick in the 2016 NWSL College Draft, Raquel Rodriguez. The Costa Rican defender scored her first goal of the season in Sky Blue's 2-1 victory over the Spirit at the Maryland SoccerPlex on June 25. After five games at the Maryland SoccerPlex, the 2015 MAC Hermann Trophy winner was the first player to score against the Spirit in 2016. Forward Leah Galton finished with two assists against the Spirit and has three on the season. .

This will be the last meeting between the two clubs in the regular season and Sky Blue lead the all-time series with a record of 3-1-3. Houston's only victory in the series came in their first meeting in 2014.

The Houston Dash return to BBVA Compass Stadium on July 16 to host Portland Thorns FC for Pride Night. Tickets and additional information are available at HoustonDashSoccer.com/Pride.

@HoustonDash GAME 3 VS. SKY BLUE FC 2016 SEASON GAME NOTES GAME 11 vs. SKY BLUE FC DASH FALL 1-0 TO PRIDE A stoppage-time goal from Jasmyne Spencer gave the Orlando Pride its third consecutive vic- tory over the Houston Dash Thursday evening at Camping World Stadium.

The game-winning goal came in second-half stoppage time when Spencer found Alex Morgan outside the 18-yard box. The U.S. Women's Na- tional Team star crossed the ball into the box past Spencer to Jamia Fields near the penalty spot drawing three Dash defenders as she passed the ball to Sarah Hagen. The second-half substitute found Spencer unmarked eight yards away from goal. The forward scored her second goal of the season with a shot towards the near post.

The Dash have now lost the five consecutive games by an identical 1-0 score line. Two of those games have been to the Pride who defeat- ed Houston on May 20. The Pride visit Houston on Sept. 3 for the final game of the season series. The Pride attack focused on feeding Morgan ear- ly in the game. The USWNT star finished with seven shots and the first came in the 2nd minute when her header went over the crossbar. Continued on page 5 GET TO KNOW CARI ROCCARO Who are your heroes? My family, obvious- ly because they've supported me over my whole soccer career, life and all of my ups and downs. Obviously I wouldn't be here with- out them and they've continued to support me in my new journey with the Dash. I wouldn't say my parents are motivating me to go run fit- ness. As far as motivators, I wouldn't say there's a player I want to emulate but a team - the U.S. Women's National team or for me growing up the youth national teams. I had a goal in mind to win a World Cup and I saw the team last year win a World Cup and that's very motivating for me and that applies to other players who want to play with them and to see that they can do it after working hard. Of course the USWNT, they're my heroes.

What is your favorite soccer movie? I like Bend it like Beckham but I like The Big Green. Do you know what that is? It's like a kid's soccer movie about this crummy soccer team where they put together a bunch of kids and they win the championship. It's old, it's non- sense but I like it.

Who would play you in a movie about your life? Everyone is saying Jennifer Gardner, I guess. I think she kind of looks like me. I think she's a good actress, I like her in 13 going on 30. That's one of her big films.

Continued on page 5 GAME 3 VS. SKY BLUE FC 2016 SEASON GAME NOTES GAME 11 vs. SKY BLUE FC DASH OFFENSIVE WOES CONTINUE BUNGALOWS, SUPERPOWERS AND MORE WITH ROCCARO Continued from page 4 Ten minutes later back-to-back shots went over the crossbar.

Rachel Daly and Chioma Ubogagu weaved passes along the left flank that sprung Ubogagu into the box but her shot went wide of the far post in the 27th minute.

Daly forced a save from Ashlyn Harris a minute later when her shot at the edge of the 18-yard box was deflected at the near post.

Ellie Brush's 25-yard pass found Kealia Ohai at the edge of the 18-yard box. The team captain found Ubogagu at the back post but her shot went wide of the near post.

Denise O'Sullivan controlled Poliana's cross with her chest, between two defenders near the pen- alty spot but her shot went wide of the near post in the 50th minute. Andressa attempted to replicate her last goal against Orlando with a long-range shot that forced a save from Harris in the 55th minute.

Daly dribbled past Kristen Edmonds in the 85th minute but her shot was blocked by Sam Wit- teman. The rebound fell to Poliana who attempt- ed a pass to Cami Privett outside the six-yard box. Monica Hickmann got to the ball first but her first touch was too heavy and the ball fell to Poliana. The Brazilian passed the ball to Becca Moros but her header went wide of the near post.

Continued from page 4 What's the first song you sing at karaoke? I'm pretty good at Ice Ice Baby, I'm really good at it. I can do some Eminem, I can do Lose Yourself.

If you could eat one meal for the rest of your life what would that be? Eggs! I would change how I make them every day but I eat eggs every day. I could do it. It's not my favorite food but I could eat it every day. I feel like I could get sick of pizza or ice cream. With Eggs, you can change it up. One day they're scrambled, then you put it with this or that so - eggs.

What superpower would you like to have? Teleportation, that's an easy choice. I wouldn't have to go to the airport.

What is one place in the world you would like to visit? There are these new bungalows in Jamaica. They just put these houses in the water in Jamaica and I just found them. That's where I really want to go.

Describe your perfect day .

Wake up to breakfast in bed from my personal chef, go play soccer with my team, play with my golden retriever puppy that I just bought. Just relax, maybe go for a boat ride and eat some sushi. Then go to bed. That sounds pretty good to me.

Ching retired following the 2013 season as the club's all- time leader in goals (69 in all competitions).

Ching's performance on and off the field upon his and the team's arrival in Hous- ton made him the face of soccer in the city, a position that he continues in his role in the front office. Ching earned the love and respect of the fans in the in- augural Dynamo game, scoring four goals against the Colorado Rapids. He was a key part of the team's championship runs in 2006 and 2007, and was named 2006 MLS Cup MVP.

After graduating from Gonzaga University, Ching was drafted by the Los Angeles Galaxy in the 2001 MLS SuperDraft. He spent 2002 with the Seattle Sounders in the A-League before being picked up by the San Jose Earthquakes the following year, where he won the 2003 MLS Cup and stayed until the franchise moved to Texas. In 2004, Ching was named MLS Comeback Player of the Year and earned a spot on the Best XI team as he tied for the league lead in goals (12). Ching was named to the MLS All-Star team six times, and finished his career 11th on the all-time scoring list (82).

Ching has been an active member of the community since coming to Houston. His "House that Ching Built" initiative with Habitat for Humanity has built several homes for families in Houston's East End. The Brian Ching Testimonial Match hon- oring his retirement raised $130,000 for the initiative, which represents the largest donation made by Dynamo Charities.

The Haleiwa, Hawaii, native earned 45 caps for the United States on the international stage, scoring 11 goals. He was named to the U.S. roster for the 2006 World Cup in Germany and was part of the 2007 Gold Cup-winning squad.

In his current role, Ching oversees all aspects of the Dash-both business- and soccer-related-under the supervision of Dynamo and Dash team president Chris Canetti.

@HoustonDash GAME 3 VS. SKY BLUE FC 2016 SEASON GAME NOTES GAME 11 vs. SKY BLUE FC DASH HEAD COACH RANDY WALDRUM The first head coach in the history of the Dash, Randy Waldrum enters his third year in the professional game after one of the most successful collegiate tenures in NCAA Division I history. Waldrum's career totals of eight NCAA semifinal appear- ances, five title games and two championships (2004 and 2010) all rank second in Division I women's soccer coaching history. His combined win total (399-108-29) and win percentage (.771)-spanning 24 total seasons at Tulsa, Baylor and Notre Dame-both rank fifth in the DI women's soccer record book.

A native of Irving, Texas, Waldrum graduated from Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls before playing professionally for the Los Angeles Skyhawks and Indi- anapolis Daredevils of the American Soccer League. After hanging up his cleats, Waldrum spent time at MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas Longhorns Soccer Club and Austin College before starting the men's soccer program at Texas Wes- leyan University in 1988. The next year he took over both the men's and women's teams at Tulsa University, where he spent the next eight years and remains the winningest all-time coach for both programs.

Waldrum returned to Texas in 1995 to start a women's soccer program for Baylor University. In the first three seasons of the program from 1996-98, Waldrum compiled a 46-14-3 record and secured the first Big 12 championship for Baylor in any sport with a 9-0-1 conference record in 1998.

The success at Baylor earned Waldrum the head coach position at national powerhouse Notre Dame, where he found im- mediate success. In Waldrum's first season at the helm, Notre Dame won the Big East tournament and made its way to the NCAA championship match before losing out to North Carolina. Waldrum would go on to win two national championships with the Fighting Irish in 2004 and 2010, as well as 12 Big East regular season titles and seven tournament championships. Waldrum coached five national players of the year (three MAC Hermann trophy winners) and 28 All-Americans while at Notre Dame, and collected five Big East and two national Coach of the Year awards.

In addition to his collegiate responsibilities, Waldrum served as a member of the U.S. Soccer staff since 1992, and was head coach of the U.S. Under-23 Women's National Team from 2012-13.
