Newcomer’s guide to the 2018 Washington Spirit

Last year, the Washington Spirit finished in last place, which is pretty much where they spent the whole NWSL season. The year before that, the club was seconds away from winning the championship. So how will this season be? Somewhere between the two. Here’s what you should know about the 2018 Washington Spirit.

Last year was bad. Why won’t this season be more of the same?

Mostly because the Spirit acquired some great players. Through the Boston Breakers dispersal draft, the Spirit signed USWNT midfielder Rose Lavelle. She won’t be available at the start of the season though since she is rehabbing her hamstring.
