Dash update: They did what was necessary by beating Boston on Wednesday, but if they're really going to announce they're back in the race for the playoffs they need to get a positive result Saturday night. Their first three-goal effort was nice, but will that carry over to a road game against the league's second-place team? Carli Lloyd is out again so once again the Dash will have to get their playmaking from someone else.
