The Dash, entering their sixth season, return the core of the squad that finished 2018 season by winning six of their final 11 matches, including co-captain and all-time leading scorer Kealia Ohai, 2018 club Golden Boot winner Rachel Daly, U.S. Women’s National Team goalkeeper Jane Campbell, co-captain and two-time club Ironwoman Amber Brooks and central midfielder Sofia Huerta.

Clarkson, 46, joined the Dash in December after more than a decade with the Houston Dynamo Academy, most recently he served as the director of youth development. The Wisbech, England native has worked closely with the Dash since the team’s inception in 2014 through his prior role with the Dynamo Academy.


The 12-game home schedule includes games against each of the eight other teams in the NWSL and two games each against Reign FC, the Chicago Red Stars, Orlando Pride, Sky Blue FC and the Utah Royals.


After Opening Day and a trip to New Jersey to face Sky Blue FC, the Dash return home on Sunday, April 28 to host the defending NWSL champion North Carolina Courage at 5 p.m. Houston hosts the other 2018 NWSL Cup finalist, the Portland Thorns, on Saturday, June 29 at 7:30 p.m. The 2019 regular-season home slate concludes on Wednesday, Sept. 25 against the Washington Spirit.
