After two hard-fought wins in as many games, the Washington Spirit challenge the Western New York Flash tonight at Sahlen's Stadium in Rochester, NY. Last Sunday, the Spirit beat Sky Blue FC 2-1 on the road. The Spirit performed well at the start of the game but trailed off in the last half hour. Nonetheless, Ali Krieger scored towards the end of the first half and Matheson scored in the 55th minute before the Spirit conceded a goal ten minutes later.
In both games, the Spirit struggled to take advantage of their opportunities on offense.
