Metayer's Rebound Goal Gives the Spirit a 1-0 Victory over Bay FC
Paige Metayer scored on a rebound as Washington snapped a four-match winless run and moved into second place in the National Women's Soccer League.
- On Sunday, the Washington Spirit defeated Bay FC 1-0 at Audi Field, securing their first victory in five matches. Paige Metayer scored the decisive goal in first-half stoppage time after a Trinity Rodman strike hit the crossbar.
- Washington had struggled since July 29, failing to secure a win and allowing league-leading Gotham to overtake them in the standings. The team sought to end that five-game winless streak against the visiting California-based squad.
- Rodman maneuvered through defenders from the left side of the 6-yard box before her shot struck the crossbar. The physical match saw yellow cards issued to Washington's Metayer and Gabrielle Carle, plus Bay FC's Maddie Moreau.
- Bay FC coach Emma Coates said the team "gave a real good account of ourselves," though the loss marks Bay FC's seventh consecutive defeat to Washington in three years. The Spirit remain undefeated in that series.
- Both clubs will soon lose key players to the United States Under-20 women's national team for the U-20 Women's World Cup in Poland. Washington now faces a schedule that should keep them within striking distance of Gotham.
