The Washington Spirit host the North Carolina Courage in Leesburg, VA for a regular season rematch of the 2022 NWSL Challenge Cup Final. The final whistle will mark the end of the 27-day streak of matches played with fewer than five days of rest between games. In this span the Spirit will have played eight games, with five being on the road. It has truly been a brutal streak, and the Spirit need naps. Several. Unlimited maybe.
On a positive note, as injured and exhausted as the team is, they’ve only lost two of those matches.
