The Washington Spirit could use a home win pretty badly right now, but hosting Seattle Reign FC means it’s certainly not going to come easily. Coming off of a 0-0 draw against Sky Blue FC that did little to boost their flagging hopes, the Spirit host a Seattle team that is justifiably sitting in second place in the NWSL. Back in the season opener, the Spirit traveled to Seattle and lost 2-1, with Joanna Lohman scored the lone goal for Washington.
Key player: Taylor Smith
Recently right back Taylor Smith has seen time up top while the Spirit dealt with a ton of injuries and national team absences that hampered their attack.
