The Pride took a 1-0 lead in the 22nd minute on a goal by Alex Morgan and appeared in good shape for a third straight win before the Dash rallied.
Kealia Ohai scored in the 79th minute and then Sofia Huerta converted a penalty kick chance in the 83rd minute to give Houston a 2-1 lead.
The Pride (6-4-4) outshot the Dash by a 21-10 margin and had 60 percent of the possession, but it wasn’t enough.
The Pride will host league-leading North Carolina at 3:30 on Saturday at Orlando City Stadium.
