Washington Spirit forward Arielle Ship’s season is over due a torn right ACL she sustained in a collision on Saturday’s game against the Chicago Red Stars. Ship is the sixth Spirit player to tear her ACL since last September. Cali Farquharson, Kelsey Wys, and Caprice Dydasco have each returned from their ACL injuries they sustained in 2016. Joanna Lohman and Line Sigvardsen Jensen are still in the process of rehabilitating their injuries.
Ship will miss the remainder of the season but if things go smoothly in her recovery, she could be ready for the start of next year’s season.
