WASHINGTON (DC News Now) – The Washington Spirit took down Bay FC 2-1 in their home opener at Audi Field Saturday night.
It was a showcase of the Spirit’s young talent, as rookies Hal Hershfelt and Croix Bethune each scored their first career NWSL goals.
Bethune, Washington’s first-round pick in the 2024 NWSL draft, called game as she scored in the final moments of stoppage time to give the Spirit the victory.
“Scoring, it didn’t feel real honestly,” said Bethune. “Different level, pro now so to see it hit the back of the net, it’s just like….okay!”
Trinity Rodman assisted Hershfelt in the Spirit’s first goal of the match, as Rodman picked up her 11th career assist, tying a club record.
Washington’s next match is Sunday, March 31st, against Utah Royals FC.
