IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
The Washington Spirit fell to the University of Virginia 1-0 in a chilly preseason friendly on Saturday night. The Wahoos lone goal was scored in the 35th minute by Alexis Shaffer. In the 27th minute Whitney Church whipped in a cross from the right side in to Laura del Rio who was streaking toward goal but couldn’t quite connect with Church’s cross. Emily Lillard was tested almost immediately after she entered the match as she was forced to tip a UVA strike up over the crossbar in the 48th minute and then again in the 60th minute as she denied UVA a second goal by tipping a strong shot over the back of her net. Estefi Banini was the most dangerous attacking player in the second half for the Spirit. She consistently took on and beat several defenders to bring the ball in the final third. In stoppage time the Spirit earned a free kick taken by Christine Nairn about 30 yards from goal in what would be the final dangerous chance of the game.
