Spirit down Dash 3
The Washington Spirit scored all of their goals in the second half for a 3-1 victory over the Houston Dash on Friday night in the National Women’s Soccer League.
Hal Hershfelt tied it at 1 in the 52nd minute before Brittany Ratcliffe’s blast from distance put the Spirit in front in the 82nd. Croix Bethune added an insurance goal two minutes later for the Spirit’s third straight victory.
Houston’s Natalie Jacobs scored just 59 seconds into the match to give the Dash (1-2-1) the early lead. It was the fastest goal in Houston’s history.
Jacobs was subbed out late in the first half after colliding with a Spirit player on a header attempt and falling hard. She clutched her back as she was attended to by trainers.
It was the Spirit’s first three-match regular-season winning streak since they won four in a row in 2021. It was also just the fourth win on the road for the Spirit (3-1-0) since the start of the 2022 season.
