And with players like Kealia Ohai, Meghan Klingenberg, Ella Masar, Erin McLeod and Tiffany McCarty, the Dash already had some of the pieces in place. A dismal 5-16-3 record and a league-low 23 goals scored landing the league's newest team at the bottom of the table at season's end.īut the Dash had a solid head coach in Randy Waldrum, who'd won 400 games as a college coach, including two National Championships with Notre Dame.
