Sunday, September 15, shapes up to be a battle as the Washington Spirit takes on Houston Dash, with both teams reaching pivotal points this season. The Spirit is on the rise after a dramatic win against Portland Thorns, while the opposite might be said of the Dash, who have struggled with a five-game losing streak. This game at Audi Field will be more than any ordinary game, as this outcome may very well shape the futures of both teams going into the final stretch of the NWSL season.
