Business as usual for Washington Spirit — and the streak keeps growing.

Washington locked in its third straight win and a club-record fourth consecutive
clean sheet, grinding out a 1-0 result over Racing Louisville FC on a rainy night
at Audi Field. The Spirit are now unbeaten in six, stacking 12 points in the process.

The breakthrough came early.

In the 15th minute, Sofia Cantore burst down the right and delivered a perfect ball
into the box, where Trinity Rodman finished cleanly for her second goal in as many
matches — and all the scoring Washington would need.

From there, it was about control and composure.

Washington threatened to add more before halftime, but couldn’t find the second 
goal. After the break, Louisville pushed for a response — and nearly got it. A penalty
was awarded midway through the second half, only to be overturned after VAR, preserving
the Spirit’s lead.

Late subs brought fresh legs, but the story stayed the same: disciplined defending,
organized shape, and another clean sheet sealed by a complete team performance.

Final whistle: one goal, zero conceded — again.
