Houston closed its three-match road trip with a hard-earned 1-1 draw against Racing Louisville FC after midfielder Kat Rader scored the equalizer in the closing minutes of the second half. The goal was Rader's team-leading sixth of the season, making her the league's leading rookie scorer. The Duke product has now scored in consecutive matches and helped Houston earn a valuable point from a losing position. With the result, the Dash have collected six points from losing positions this season, the third-most in the NWSL.

Defensively, captain Jane Campbell once again anchored Houston's defense with five saves against Louisville, extending her NWSL-leading total to 57 this season. Her timely stops have been a key factor in keeping the Dash competitive during a tightly contested stretch in which each of the club's last six matches has been decided by one goal or fewer.

The Dash celebrate Pride Night, presented by the LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce, on Saturday, Aug. 1 as they host Sam Kerr, Esther Gonzalez and Gotham FC at Shell Energy Stadium. The Dash has proudly celebrated Houston's vibrant LGBTQIA+ community for more than a decade and will once again recognize trailblazers and community leaders throughout the evening. Fans can purchase a commemorative scarf for $15 and tickets for the match are available.
