Orlando’s goal came courtesy of [**Chioma Ubogagu**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/view/dwclepmsssh2hd8381rjqbufp) in the 65th minute. After an [**Amber Brooks**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/view/4aix0gos55qf4mdpld547ek7p) foul on [**Sydney Leroux**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/view/4c3ul31a4mf94cclrayr43g7p) set up the free kick, Pride midfielder [**Christine Nairn**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/view/4tgpaf43xg2ehk4u4bkt8k2c5) served a ball into the box that Ubogagu rose up to head home for her second goal of the season. [Empty Body] Ubogagu also scored Orlando’s only goal last week in Portland. She leads the Pride with two goals this season, both on assists from Nairn. The Pride had a few chances to add to their lead, but were stopped by Dash goalkeeper [J**ane Campbell**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/view/53uflfknc5uus7iqw3obp5fx1). In the seventh minute, Leroux pounced on a back pass and forced a quick save from Campbell. In the 82nd minute, an Orlando corner kick resulted in a shot on goal from [**Ali Krieger**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/view/6bhtfawnoxk9x57xigb8z03it), but Campbell pushed the shot wide. [Empty Body] Leroux also hit the post with a shot in the 83rd minute. [**Kealia Ohai**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/view/4truizy1yj9rmnr6njomf5s5x) made her 2018 season debut in the 59th minute — on the same field where she tore her ACL last June. She played the final 31 minutes and was able to take one shot. [Empty Body] Houston Dash forward [**Savannah Jordan**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/view/alylknvanmyrw79zp0rhnb105) had a look on goal in the 24th minute, forcing Pride goalkeeper [**Ashlyn Harris**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/view/7rakt6kzybvn8u7jkonrdcmad) to make a save to her left as Jordan tried to sneak it in at the near post. The Dash had a corner kick late and a chance to steal a point deep into second half stoppage time, but Brooks hit her header just up and over the crossbar. It’s the first clean sheet of the season for Harris, who made two saves in the game. The Dash have not scored since the 38th minute of Week 1. The Pride controlled possession in the game, according to Opta, 57.7% to 42.3%. They also outshot the Dash 14-10 and 3-2 in shots on goal.
