Draw feels like a loss for Spirit in Challenge Cup
The Washington Spirit has grown so accustomed to success the past eight months, the thought of not advancing in even a preseason tournament after going undefeated in group play won’t sit well with the reigning National Women’s Soccer League champions.
Washington ran its unbeaten streak in competitive matches to 18 over two campaigns Saturday, but the 2-2 draw against the North Carolina Courage in Cary, N.C., probably will not be enough to advance in the Challenge Cup.
