This was the team's opening match up in the NWSL's Challenge Cup.
Before the game, players from the Houston Dash and the Utah Royals took a knee in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.
Dash's forward Rachel Daly started the tournament by scoring against the Royals.
Daly's two goals were not enough for a victory though. Utah was able to get the equalizer in the 89 minute and steal the win.
The Dash will play Washington's Reign FC on Saturday.
