The National Women’s Soccer League named Houston Dash goalkeeper Jane Campbell and defender Caprice Dydasco to the NWSL’s Best XI of the Month, presented by Mastercard.
This is Campbell’s third time being named to the Best XI of the Month team and the first since March 2018. The shot stopper tallied the lowest goals against average (GAA) in the regular season at 0.83 GAA. Campbell, who was drafted No. 15 overall by Houston in the 2017 NWSL Draft, also made the most regular season saves this year, nearly missing out on century mark at 93 saves.
To add to her stellar 2023 regular season campaign, Campbell broke the club record for most regular season appearances with 126 appearances to date. She was one of three goalkeepers to record eight clean sheets this season, a club and personal record.
Dydasco earned Best XI of the Month honors for the sixth time in her career and for the first time since October 2021. The Honolulu, Hawaii native led the team in tackles won with 45 and also had 45 interceptions. The UCLA product had 54 clearances and finished the regular season with a 68.2 percent successful tackle rate.
The defender was acquired by the Dash on August 19, 2022, following a trade with NJ/NY Gotham FC and has made 27 starts in 28 appearances since arriving in Houston. Dydasco was the reigning NWSL Defender of the Year when she joined the Dash midway through the 2022 regular season. She was key figure in helping Houston close out the year en-route to the team’s first playoff appearance.
