Trinity Byars scored five minutes into stoppage time to pull the the San Diego Wave into a 2-2 draw with the Houston Dash on Wednesday night at Shell Energy Stadium.
There were 13 minutes of stoppage time needed in Houston after goalkeeper Jane Campbell exited the match in the 83rd minute with a head injury.
Byars’ right cleat collided just above Campbell’s right eye, which required the game to stop for several minutes as the training staff tended to the open wound.
Despite trailing for most of the match after Dudinha gave the Wave (7-3-1) the lead in the 20th minute, the Dash rallied late in the second half. Rookie Kate Faasse fired a shot from just outside the box in the 70th and Kat Radar momentarily gave Houston the lead in the 89th.
With the draw, the Dash (3-5-2) snapped a three match losing streak but still has not earned a full three points since April 3.
