Lynn Williams played hero on Wednesday night, helping Gotham to its first win over the Houston Dash since May 15th, 2021.
Coming in the eighth minute, the forward’s goal was all it took for the Bats to ink the 1-0 victory. It was also her 78th across all NWSL competitions, landing her neck-and-neck with former Chicago Red Star Sam Kerr for the most career goals in league history.
“Wow, that’s really cool. To have my name there with Sam Kerr is amazing. But I don’t get that goal, I don’t get those things, without my teammates,” Williams said of her accomplishment.
Williams’ effort also marked the team’s 300th club goal across all competitions.
“I think the players executed the game plan almost to perfection,” echoed Gotham head coach Juan Carlos Amorós after the match. “I am very, very proud of how they’ve been able to perform like that in such a shorter space of time.”
The goal was Williams’ second in as many games, giving her two goals through five matches played this season. Gotham will next travel to San Diego to face the Wave at Snapdragon Stadium on Sunday.
