The Boston Breakers have two games left this season. Tomorrow, they will take on their fellow bottom-of-the-table team, the Washington Spirit, as #10 and #9 go head to head. Boston no doubt wants to end the season on a positive note, which means winning after a 10-game winless streak and outright losing their last five. The Spirit will want to do the same.
Both teams have a young wunderkind expected to take the USWNT to the next level on the roster, the Spirit with Mal Pugh and the Breakers with Rose Lavelle. But Pugh is healthy, and Lavelle probably doesn’t much more than a half safely in her.
