The Washington Post - 22.08.2019

THURSDAY, AUGUST 22 , 2019. THE WASHINGTON POST EZ M2 D5

BY MATTHEW GUTIERREZ

The threats came one after the
other: Good feeds and through-
balls to the box went wasted.
Several corner kicks fluttered
near the goal, producing quality
chances for headers that drifted
wide. Washington Spirit Coach
Richie Burke pleaded for inten-
sity, a push and movement. “Get
it moving! Get it moving!” he
yelled in the first half, trying to
provide a spark.
It never came. Nothing mate-

rialized Wednesday night at Maryland SoccerPlex in Boyds, where the Spirit engaged in a scoreless tie against the Utah Royals. The Spirit didn’t capital- ize on chances to score, letting another opportunity to pick up three points at home slip away. Stars Mallory Pugh (right hip) and Rose Lavelle (head) did not play against a Utah team that had won three in a row. The Spirit (6-7-4, 22 points) was tied for first place in the NWSL earlier this summer but now sits tied for sixth, 11 points back of first-place Portland and six behind Utah (8-6-4, 28) for fourth place and the final playoff spot with seven games to play.

Washington thrived early this year, and despite losing Pugh and Lavelle to the U.S. women’s national team during the World Cup, the Spirit stayed at or near the top of the league for weeks. The strong start appeared to be a sign of growth after the Spirit struggled in 2017 and 2018, earn- ing only seven wins in 48 games. But the Spirit has plummeted, going 1-6-1 in its past eight games. Next up is a Saturday night matchup against Orlando at Audi Field, where the 20,000- seat capacity is five times that of Maryland SoccerPlex. Spirit majority owner Steve Baldwin this week said Audi Field will be

nearly sold out, a projection that would exceed the team’s attend- ance record set last year at the Southwest Washington venue. “If it’s not a sellout,” Baldwin said, “it’ll be darn close to one.” But that’s Saturday, and the Spirit had to work through Utah first. For the majority of the 90 minutes, there was little attacking surge. The Spirit didn’t pepper the visitors’ goal with a bevy of shots. It did, however, come out of a 90-minute weather delay with a few jolts of energy that nearly pro- duced scores. In the fourth minute, Spirit forward Ashley Hatch pounced on a chance. She sprinted into a

ball and fired a blistering shot that was deflected. Later, after another strong Hatch kick, her coach took a step near midfield. “Nice kick, Hatchie!” Burke yelled. Still, Burke appeared frus- trated that the Spirit had drib- bled downfield or set up a few passes but couldn’t finish. Earli- er this month, when Burke ana- lyzed his offense following a 1-0 loss to Chicago, he might as well have been analyzing the Utah match on Wednesday, too. “Movement, timing, quality of service — there’s a lot of different things that we’ve not done,” Burke said then. On the other end, Utah’s of-

fense was also stymied. Spirit goalkeeper Aubrey Bledsoe con- tinued her strong season with another steady performance. In the 53rd minute, she repelled a Utah shot from well inside the box. The Royals rarely challenged her after that, although a shot in the 78th minute looked as if it might go in until it sailed high. Less than a minute later, another Utah opening emerged. But there was Bledsoe, jumping off the ground to reach up and save the shot. A chant of Bledsoe’s name broke out. On this night, that was about all Spirit fans had to cheer. [email protected]

For slumping Spirit, it’s the same old story as o≠ense sputters in listless draw
