The Washington Spirit will be looking to build on a vital win as they host the North Carolina Courage at Audi Field this evening. The Spirit, winners thanks to some late magic last week, have after years of losses started to have some success against the Courage, including a 2-0 win in their last meeting that was as complete a performance as any Spirit match in club history.
However, North Carolina have allowed just one goal in their last five games — winning three straight in the process — and all signs point to the Spirit needing to be as good or better than they were back on July 10th if they’re going to start a run of victories.
