Kiana Palacios and Mina Tanaka scored and the Utah Royals beat the Denver
Summit 2-1 on Saturday night in the National Women's Soccer League to push
their unbeaten streak to nine games.
In other games, the Houston Dash beat visiting Angel City 2-1, and the North
Carolina Courage topped Racing Louisville 2-1 on the road.
The Royals (7-2-2) joined the Portland Thorns at the top of the standings, with
teams set to met next weekend in Portland.
Tanaka scored in the 72nd minute off a penalty kick after Clo Lacasse was
fouled on the left edge of the box by Ayo Oke.
Palacios scored her first career NWSL goal in the 20th minute, capitalizing on
a turnover by Eva Gaetino.
Denver (3-4-3) tied it minutes before halftime with Delanie Sheehan finding
Yazmeen Ryan at the back post.
Dash beat Angel City 2-1 for first win in 51 days Maggie Graham scored in stoppage time to lift Houston past Angel City for the Dash's first victory in 51 days. Graham fired a shot from just outside the box after a series of one-touch passes up the middle of the field. Houston (4-5-2) ended a six-game winless streak. Kat Radar put Houston on the board in the 17th minute. Angel City (4-5-1) tied it nine minutes later on Maiara Carolina Niehues' penalty kick. Houston was without goalkeeper Jane Campbell after she sustained a head injury Wednesday against San Diego. In her place, Caroline Delisle made her first career NWSL start.
