After a four game unbeaten streak, the reigning NWSL champions have fallen to the Washington Spirit with two goals late in the game. This is the first in a series of games without national team players Heather O'Reilly, Becky Sauerbrunn and Desiree Scott who are in a national team training camp in preparation for this summer's Olympic Games. Alex Arlitt, the defensive rookie who has made continuous starts for FC Kansas City in the left back position since recovering from a pre-season hamstring injury, was a late scratch for tonight's game. These absences made room for Lo'eau LaBonta and Brianne Reed to make their first professional starts.
