With the NWSL now in Boston and Denver, the Washington Spirit can now get themselves a chance to see how they can fare and play in new markets.
Not only that but the ladies are going to be facing new challenges as well as environmental questions with altitude with playing on the road in Denver on March 28.
With the team playing to two draw’s so far one against Racing Louisville and one against Utah, this should be a fascinating test.
But is one that the ladies got to stay disciplined with as Denver is returning to the home crowd feeling great after defeating the defending NWSL Champs Gotham FC at Sports Illustrated Stadium.
Denver in that match did just about everything right, with keeping possession of the soccer ball and capitalizing on Gotham’s mistakes and can gain themselves another notch in the belt of a very young franchise by possibly gaining any kind of momentum by beating the team that won the NWSL Championship in 2021.
One of the leaders on the team in Hal Hershfelt is looking to keep the Spirit going in the right direction though, because the thing that is noticed thus far is that every match the team in the 2026 Season thus far is getting progressively better.
Hershfelt playing with 4,069 minutes with the team has scored 3 goals and helped on two assist in her career and in 2024 was named to the 2024 NWSL Second XI.
In 2026 thus far Hershfelt has 270 minutes played and features a pass completion rate of 86.8%
It should be a great opportunity for the ladies to see a new market and not only that but the match is going to be aired on the CBS Network and to be able to get the quality of soccer in front of a National Audience such as that one.
The first ever clash between the Spirit and Denver Summit is to be played at 2p.m.
