Janine Sonis scored twice to lead the Denver Summit to a 4-1 win over the Houston Dash in her 100th NWSL start in a match delayed for more than 90 minutes due to inclement weather Saturday night at Shell Energy Stadium.
Yazmeen Ryan dropped the ball into Sonis’ path in the 15th minute for the 1-0 lead. Natasha Flint stole the ball and calmly slotted it home to make it 2-0 in the 34th.
After a video review, the Dash were awarded a penalty kick after Flint fouled Danielle Colaprico in the box and Maggie Graham converted to make it 2-1 in the 43rd minute.
Ayo Oke’s cross in the box found Delanie Sheehan in the 49th to restore Denver’s two goal lead. Ryan and Sonis connected again in the 72nd for the Summit (2-3-3).
Colaprico started her 200th match to become the fourth player in NWSL history to reach that mark.
Houston (3-4-1) is winless in its past four matches.
