BOYDS, MD (Sept 13, 2016) – The Washington Spirit will host the first semifinal match of the 2016 NWSL Playoffs at the Maryland SoccerPlex on September 30, 2016 at 8 p.m. ET against a to-be-determined opponent. The match will be televised nationally on FOX Sports 1 and available for live and on-demand streaming via the FOX Sports GO app and online at FOXSportsGO.com.

It will be the first home playoff game in franchise history and the 3rd semifinal appearance for the suburban Washington, D.C. side in the first four years of NWSL’s existence.
