Lynn Williams' early goal lifts Gotham FC over Houston Dash
Lynn Williams scored in the eighth minute to lead NJ/NY Gotham FC to a 1-0 victory over the Houston Dash at Shell Energy Stadium on Wednesday.

Houston had its chances but couldn't capitalize. Gotham goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger stopped an early attempt by Houston's Diana Ordóñez in the fifth minute. Later, Sophie Schmidt saw her right-footed shot saved in the bottom right corner by Berger in the 82nd minute.
