Welcome to the Orange & Blueprints Podcast - your go-to spot for everything Houston Dash and women’s soccer in the Bayou City!

Manny and Diego are back to break down the Houston Dash’s wild midweek clash against San Diego Wave. In a bizarre match, San Diego’s goalkeeper struggles helped Houston stay alive and find goals, turning what seemed like an unlikely result into a potential statement win. But just when it looked like the Dash would walk away with all three points, San Diego struck deep into added time to force a dramatic 2-2 draw. The episode also highlights rookie Kate Faasse opening her scoring account for Houston, while Kat Rader continued her impressive start to her first season with the club. Now, the Dash turn their attention to Angel City, whom they’ll face for the second time in 2026 — this time at Shell Energy Stadium. Manny and Diego preview the matchup, discuss key storylines, and give their predictions for how the contest could unfold.

From roster chatter and league-wide storylines to big-picture Dash talk, we’ve got you covered. The new season is getting closer, and we’re excited to ride it with you every step of the way. Stick around for all things Houston Dash and women’s soccer—it’s shaping up to be a fun one.
