The Washington Spirit face a daunting task tonight as they go on the road to take on the surging Chicago Red Stars. For the Spirit, who sit 5 points out of the playoffs with 5 games left on their schedule, it’s not an ideal time to be facing a team that has suddenly found themselves on a three-game winning streak, but if they want to be a playoff team, Chicago is exactly the kind of team they have to be able to not just compete against, but beat.
There is some good news for Washington, as Rose Lavelle is off the injury report.
