With a little luck, the Boston Breakers managed to get a point out of a 1-1 tie with the Washington Spirit.
Starting XI: Libby Stout, Julie King, Whitney Engen, Kassey Kallman, Brooke Elby (Christen Westphal, 85'), Mollie Pathman, McCall Zerboni, Angela Salem, Louise Schillgard, Stephanie McCaffrey (Brittany Ratcliffe, 83'), Eunice Beckmann (Kyah Simon, 67')
With usual midfield engine Kristie Mewis out with an ankle sprain and the Spirit almost at full strength, head coach Matt Beard elected to return to his five-back formation, with Engen, Kallman, and King central and Pathman and Elby asked to sweep up and down the wings.
