The Washington Spirit are looking to build on last week’s excellent win today as they host a difficult NJ/NY Gotham FC at Segra Field today. For years, the Spirit piled up wins against the closest thing they have to an NWSL neighbor, but over the past year the series has become far more even. Gotham knocked the Spirit out of last year’s Challenge Cup, and have managed to go 2W-1D-0L in their last three visits to the DMV in all competitions.
Key player: Ashley Sanchez
Sanchez was dynamite last week, even if she didn’t end up getting a goal.
