Gabby Seiler through a trade with Portland Thorns FC. The duo come at the cost of a 2021 1st Round pick and a 2021 4th round pick.
The trade means that the Dash now have 23 players on their active roster ahead of the 2021 NWSL season. This leaves Houston with two remaining picks in the 3rd round of the upcoming NWSL Draft (the 26th and 27th overall selections).

Portland Thorns FC announced on Wednesday that the club has acquired the seventh and 37th picks in the 2021 NWSL Draft. The Thorns traded midfielders Emily Ogle and Gabby Seiler to the Houston Dash for the draft picks.
“We appreciate Emily and Gabby’s commitment and contributions to the club and wish them well as they continue their careers in Houston,” said Thorns FC general manager and president of soccer Gavin Wilkinson. “Acquiring these additional draft picks gives the club valuable assets as we continue to finalize the roster.”
The Portland Thorns selected Ogle with the 24th overall pick in the 2019 NWSL College Draft from Penn State. Ogle appeared in eight matches, five of which came in 2020.
