Sends nine crosses Saturday Dorsey generated one shot (zero on goal), nine crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-0 loss to St. Louis City SC.

Impact Even though only one of Dorsey's crosses was accurate, it generated one of Houston's best chances to score throughout the game.

Suspended to face New England Dorsey has earned a yellow card suspension and won't be available against New England on Wednesday.

Scores in win over RSL Dorsey scored a goal off his lone shot, created two chances and sent in two crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 4-1 win over Real Salt Lake.

Impact Dorsey was having a quiet performance until first half's stoppage time, when he started to find room to go up the field and support the offense. In his second try, he appeared as a striker almost inside the six-yard box to slot home a pass from the left that the defense failed to clear and make it 2-0 for Houston. With three goals over his last five league starts, the right-back is enjoying the best season of his career and consolidating himself as one of MLS' best at his position.

However, only six of these have been on target and his only goals this season both came in one game in Vancouver.
