Shout out also the other Dash players - Paige Nielsen, Yaz Ryan, Delanie Sheehan and Liz Beardsley - for following Anna Heilferty over to the supporters section and putting on the Free DC shirts.

Paige is a former Spirit, Liz Beardsley played at UMD and Yaz and Delanie are, as far as I can tell, simply awesome.

After the game I got to talk to Liz Beardsley who also signed my yellow card. I have a new favorite third string goalkeeper on the Houston Dash :)

Here's a video of the Dash players posing in front of us in their Free DC shirts. I'm hoping we'll get to see the photo soon, along with a similar photo that Esme Morgan, Sandy McIver and Paige Metayer took with us

Great writeup here with some incredible quotes from Anna Heilferty.

“It’s been really just beautiful in how the crowd has come together. And I think in moments like this, especially everything that’s been going in DC, to have an organization like Free DC that really brings people together in these critical moments, gives them a voice, gives them somewhere to put energy when it may feel hopeless. It’s so important.”
