Final Thoughts:
Spirit had to play a home against Houston Dash in Houston. They also were down a player Due to Andi Sullivan's Red Card) for the last 40 minutes. But they found 2 goals to earn the three points. For the Dash, they are playing undisciplined.

Spirit will head to Tacoma, to play the OL Reign on Sunday. While the Dash will stay in Houston, to be the home club against Chicago Red Stars, Saturday Night.
