The Washington Spirit and Seattle Reign FC both brought a lot of intensity to the table tonight, but ultimately their battle ended in a stalemate as big chances for both teams fell to the wayside in a 0-0 draw. Spirit goalkeeper Aubrey Bledsoe saved Megan Rapinoe’s 52nd minute penalty kick and added three more top-notch saves after halftime in a game that became more and more stretched as time wore on.
Head coach Jim Gabarra had several players back from international duty and also saw Ashley Hatch return to the lineup after missing a game with a hip injury.
