Mallory Swanson sends the Chicago Red Stars into the NWSL Olympic break with a 1-0 victory

Mallory Swanson scored just before halftime to help the Chicago Red Stars earn a 1-0 win over the Houston Dash at SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview.

Leilanni Nesbeth picked off a pass and found Swanson in first-half stoppage time. She dribbled forward and shot with her left foot outside the box, finishing into the upper left corner for her seventh goal of the season.

Swanson has scored in four straight games for Chicago (7-7-2), matching the most in Red Stars history.

Goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher made six saves to earn her third clean sheet this season.

The Dash (3-8-5) have been held scoreless in five straight matches.
