It’s been nearly a month since the Washington Spirit have played a game at the Maryland SoccerPlex, but tonight the Spirit return home to face the Houston Dash. Washington will hope this turns the tide for the team, who are currently in 8th place, 10 points from moving up the NWSL standings. The good news for the Spirit is that they’ll face the team in 7th tonight.
Key player: Estefania Banini
Washington comes into tonight on an eight-game winless streak. Since the start of May, the Spirit have scored four goals (in twelve games) and half of those came in the Spirit’s last game against Houston, a 3-2 loss in which Banini and Ashley Hatch scored.
