Not many saw this day coming when the 2022 season began. After all, Rachel Daly had been here through thick and thin. She was embedded as much in the city as she was in the team. No one ever doubted her desire, her intensity, or her commitment to bringing a winner to Houston. She rewrote the scoring book for the Dash. Number 3 hoisted the team's first ever championship trophy following the 2020 Challenge Cup. She played where she was asked left it all on the field. She was serenaded by Houston fans with chants of Thank you Daly! The Houston Dash were better for her presence. Here is a pictorial look at her time in Houston.
