Trailing most of the night against a winless opponent, the Spirit on Saturday scored two late goals — one assisted by rookie Trinity Rodman and the other scored by the teenage forward deep in stoppage time — for a 2-1 away victory against Kansas City.
The result vaulted the Spirit (3-1-3) into a tie for third place in the National Women’s Soccer League before it plays three consecutive home games.
Ashley Sanchez, a second-year forward, scored the equalizer in the 78th minute and Rodman deposited the go-ahead goal in the fifth of 10 additional minutes in Kansas City, Kan.
