They danced through the shadows, the sun streaming through the stands of their home stadium as it pulsed around them. Hal Hershfelt, who scored the equalizing goal as the clock nearly died. Aubrey Kingsbury, the goalkeeper who delayed her tour around the pitch with her teammates because she was needed for a nationally televised interview, such a stud she was. Tara McKeown, swinging her hips, leading the way. Trinity Rodman, rubber-legged after all the soccer she played Saturday, all the soccer she has played this year. Audi Field — decked out in the black and yellow of the Washington Spirit, a sold-out crowd standing and swaying — was here for all of it.
The Washington Spirit is a thrilling force — now and in the future
