The Washington Spirit are looking to break a 13-game road winless streak this afternoon, as they travel about three hours up 95 to take on Sky Blue FC. The Spirit began this season by beating their nearest geographic rivals at home, and Yurcak Field was the site of their last win away from home. However, Sky Blue have improved over their two games, showing some solidity and the ability to create danger on the break to get draws against two of the best sides in the NWSL.
For the Spirit to pick up their second win of the season, it may well take their best performance yet this year.
