Ryan, who led the Dash in scoring last season while earning the Golden Boot and Newcomer of the Year honors, spun past a Houston defender before firing a near-post strike past Dash goalkeeper Jane Campbell.<\/p>\n<p>Houston (4-5-7) responded less than three minutes later as forward Kat Rader slipped a shot past Summit goalkeeper Abby Smith. The 22-year-old Rader has quickly carried her prolific scoring form into the professional league after scoring 32 goals at Duke.<\/p>\n<p>With halftime approaching, rookie defender Cate Hardin mistimed a challenge on Summit forward Ally Brazier inside the box, conceding a penalty. Sonis, who spent two seasons with Houston from 2016-17, converted against her former teammate Campbell to restore the lead for Denver (4-5-4).<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Houston tied it in the 48th minute when midfielder Maggie Graham\u2019s cross found Linda Ullmark, who scored her first professional goal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reign tops Thorns in rivalry match<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ryanne Brown scored her first NWSL goal, and midfielder Maddie Mercado added another as the Seattle Reign beat rival Portland 2-0 in Seattle.<\/p>\n<p>Brown opened the scoring in the seventh minute, running onto a ball played behind Portland\u2019s defense and beating goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold. It was Brown\u2019s first start of the season after returning from an ACL injury last year.<\/p>\n<p>Energy dipped heading into halftime, but midfielder Sam Meza changed the pace with consecutive tackles before regaining possession and lofting a cross toward Mercado, who headed home the second goal in the 44th.<\/p>\n<p>The Reign (5-6-2) held the Thorns (8-4-3) scoreless and secured their first win in five matches. Goalkeeper Cassie Miller made a career-high nine saves in the shutout, just eight days after the 31-year-old goalkeeper made her Reign debut in the 3-1 loss against the North Carolina Courage.<\/p>\n<p>Few fixtures in the league carry more intensity than the Seattle-Portland series, with the clubs inheriting the Cascadia rivalry forged by the Sounders and Timbers in Major League Soccer decades before the NWSL\u2019s founding in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>AP soccer: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/soccer<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=3536\">US strikes Iran over latest ship attack and Tehran responds by hitting Arab states<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=3538\">Baseball: Grandview grad Ethan Wachsmann goes to Minnesota Twins in third round of MLB Draft<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=3540\">US and Iran vie for Strait of Hormuz, waterway key to global energy supplies, in latest attacks<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DENVER | Janine Sonis had a goal and an assist for the Denver Summit in a 2-2 draw with the visiting Houston Dash on Sunday in the National Women\u2019s Soccer League.
