At the end of the summer break, Paige Metayer said: "It was an opportunity to grow as a team. ...We created an environment and continue to work hard in a way that the people returning will be able to jump up to speed really quickly." Seems to be working so far for Washington Spirit

"Looks like a cat." Funny moment during the Washington Spirit postgame presser: HC Jonatan Giráldez randomly started petting my mic with the furry windscreen, causing Trinity Rodman to laugh. I wasn't able to hear what he said live, but matched up my recording with the video. Enjoy.
