The Washington Spirit showed us a glimpse at their true potential on the weekend, beating the North Carolina Courage 2-0 thanks to two goals from Ashley Hatch. Beating the Courage is always a special thing in NWSL, and doing so by being truly dominant is all the more impressive. It was an ideal way to bounce back from a frustrating home loss, and has the Spirit in a spot where it’s possible for them to be in 1st place as early as this coming Sunday night.
With that in mind, André and your ol’ pal Jason (literally, I feel very old as I put off some needed stretching to finish this piece up) want to break down what is at this point the high point of the Spirit’s season thus far.
