The Washington Spirit see their late rally come up short as they fall 2-1 to San Diego Wave FC. San Diego head coach Casey Stoney orchestrated a solid pressing gameplan that gave the Spirit trouble. Though the tide began to turn in the second half, Tara McKeown’s assists to Jordan Baggett came too late to gain a result.
Washington took the pitch in shirts with CVS as the front shirt sponsor instead of The Kennedy Center. The Spirit announced that CVS has returned as the away shirt sponsor while The Kennedy Center will remain the sponsor the the home shirts.
