For only the second time since May 1 the Washington Spirit have gone five days between matches. Not only that, they’ll also face an opponent they haven’t seen on the pitch since last season in Racing Louisville.
Head coach Kris Ward put a fine point on just how chaotic the Spirit’s schedule has been when he shared that the team and coaches were refreshed by finally experiencing what should be a normal week in the regular season.
Everyone was actually pretty excited just to train yesterday. There was actually a lot of joy of being together without the expectations of having to win or lose on the day, but being able to be together to devote some time to improving, so that was pretty positive.
