The Washington Spirit have made a major emphasis about forgetting the past, and they cut one connection to recent seasons by defeating Sky Blue FC 3-2 on a sunny afternoon in New Jersey. The victory was the Spirit’s first away from the Maryland SoccerPlex in 13 games, dating back to a 2-1 win at this venue on September 10, 2017. Cheyna Matthews lead the way, scoring goals in either half, while rookie Jordan DiBiasi bagged her first professional goal as well.
After Sky Blue had more of the ball in the opening stages, the Spirit began to settle in.
