Just days after a “home” win in Texas, the Washington Spirit are on the road to face OL Reign in Tacoma tonight. Both sides are coming off of what look like important wins over good opponents, but while the Reign have been prepping all week for this game and adding Rose Lavelle to their squad, the Spirit played in Texas heat and humidity on Wednesday and are without their suspended captain Andi Sullivan.
In other words, while the trip to Houston was a strong indicator that this Washington team has a lot of resilience, tonight looks like it’ll be just as demanding a test.
