Dash forward [**Sarah Hagen**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/view/5yg4ks95qlwtgie8c0xik9ud) scored twice and forward [**Janine Beckie**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/view/9e65qlc7dfjkajyhzhak8sc7p) added another as the Dash improved to 7-9-2 with 23 points, four points out of the final playoff spot. The Dash scored first, in the 10th minute of the game as Hagen tallied her first of the match. Beckie sent a cross into the box and Houston forward [**Rachel Daly**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/view/amg2zai9038cdz9uuql3l9rkl) collided with Boston goalkeeper [**Abby Smith**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/view/706rwdwv4re27svfmlo7na3th) as the two made a play for the ball. Hagen pushed the loose ball into the net to make it 1-0. Daly and Smith were down on the field for a moment, but both players stayed in the game and played the full 90 minutes. The Breakers equalized in the 26th minute when [**Natasha Dowie**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/view/1bpq54voea3pt7n7ppzoyvvth) headed home a perfectly placed cross by rookie [**Margaret Purce**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/view/56y5qt6c03t7f5t7eoebi0wyd). [Empty Body] In the 64th minute, rookie [**Nichelle Prince**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/view/516s5q2n1hop56c1768x0jbh1) sent a long through ball to the feet of Beckie, who then roofed her shot over Smith to make it 2-1. [Empty Body] In the 79th minute, Hagen earned her brace and sealed the win. [**Andressinha**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/view/479w7uwn18x7ciwkoqukstmtx) dribbled through the midfield, and pushed a ball out wide to [**Poliana**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/view/5fkw18yxmk3wccr46kjtoz5xx). Poliana then sent a dangerous cross into the box, but Smith was able to push it away from the onrushing Daly. The rebound, however, went to Hagen, who finished it to make the score 3-1. [Empty Body] The two goals were Hagen’s first two of the season. The Dash were without midfielder [**Carli Lloyd**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/view/exfa2ygjuuy08v50w65ddj2l1), who is out with a left ankle sprain suffered on Sunday night in the loss to FC Kansas City. With the loss, the Breakers fell to 3-8-7 on the season. They have not won since a 1-0 win over the Washington Spirit on July 1.
