Houston Dash defender Stephanie Ochs underwent surgery to repair an ACL tear in her right knee, it was announced today.
The procedure was performed by team physician Dr. Joshua Harris at Houston Methodist Hospital. Ochs is expected to miss the remainder of the 2015 season.
The injury was originally sustained in the Dash’s match against the Boston Breakers on April 26. The San Diego native appeared in all 24 matches for the Dash in 2014 and was named the team’s Defender of the Year after moving to the position midway through the season. At the time of her injury, Ochs was one of two players to have never missed an NWSL match since the league’s inception in 2013.
