HOUSTON & FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – NWSL side Houston Dash has loaned goalkeeper Heather Hinz to Fort Lauderdale United FC in the USL Super League.
The loan runs through Feb. 16, both teams announced on Saturday, and the agreement includes a right to recall after the player meets the loan period minimum.
Hinz was drafted by the Dash earlier this year with the No. 38 overall pick in the 2024 NWSL Draft. The goalkeeper finished her debut season with three appearances and one shutout.
The University of South Carolina alum made her professional debut on July 28 in Houston’s 2-1 victory over Tigres UANL Femenil in the NWSL x LIGA MX Femenil Summer Cup. She earned her first clean sheet to close the tournament in a 2-0 victory over Pachuca CF. The 23-year-old made her regular season debut last Saturday evening at Shell Energy Stadium against Bay FC and finished with five saves.
Hinz will be eligible for selection as soon as Sunday when Fort Lauderdale hosts Tampa Bay Sun FC at 5:00 p.m. ET.
