The Houston Dash signed two-time Big East Defensive Player of the Year Natalie Bain for the rest of the 2026 season on Friday.

Bain, 22, was a three-time All-American and guided Xavier to a Big East tournament title in 2025.


She spent the preseason with Houston as a non-roster invitee and will join the Dash when her academic semester ends in May.

Bain contributed three goal and four assists in 21 matches as a senior in 2025 while anchoring a defense that posted a dozen shutouts.
