Both the Washington Spirit and the Houston Dash head into today’s game looking to turn things around after struggling in the early part of the season. The Spirit are coming off a three-game losing streak and sit in last place. The Dash, in ninth place, just fired head coach Randy Waldrum and have just six points points from seven games. Oscar Morales, who joined the Dash as an assistant coach this April, will be the acting coach tonight.
With defensive midfielder Tori Huster out due to injury the past two games, the Spirit’s defense has suffered.
