The Spirit overcame muggy conditions and an unusual start time to win a game they controlled throughout
A dominant Washington Spirit defeated Sky Blue FC 3-1 in a game that was postponed from last night due to severe storms in the area. Estefania Banini opened the scoring for the Spirit in the 27th minute, only for Tasha Kai to convert Sky Blue’s first chance of the game soon thereafter. The Spirit, who controlled play throughout, fought back to win via goals from Cheyna Williams and Alyssa Kleiner.
Washington’s lineup contained no real surprises.
