Previously: The last time these two teams met was August 8, 2015. The Breakers beat the Spirit 2-1 at home. Their other 2015 meeting was a 1-1 tie away. The Spirit ended the 2015 season 8-6-6 in fourth place, while the Breakers were 4-13-3 and in dead last.
It's hard making predictions coming into this season. A lot has happened in the offseason, especially for the Breakers. The Spirit have a new goalkeeper in Canadian Stephanie Labbé and some new field players like defender Shelina Zadorsky and forward Katie Stengel, but overall their roster continuity is a lot stronger.
