Gotham FC (6-2-3) extended its historic defensive record with its eighth shutout in the first 11 games with their victory over the Dash.
Gotham defender Tierna Davidson’s long ball delivery to Jordynn Dudley led to a left-footed blast for the 1-0 lead in the eighth minute.
The assist was Davidson’s first in NWSL play.
After suffering an injury at the CONCACAF W Champions Cup, goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger (abdomen) was listed as out.
Shelby Hogan started in her place and recorded three saves in the shutout win.
