.WashSpirit is the NWSL champion, and kelleymohara had a goal for the ages!
After a tumultuous season that saw the NWSLand its own culture of silence, the league has crowned its new champion: the Washington Spirit, which beat the Chicago Red Stars to win the franchise's first ever championship.
The game started with a choppy, back-and-forth first half, and both teams looked ready to take a 0-0 score into halftime when Chicago's Rachel Hill headed a floater of a cross past Spirit goalkeeper Aubrey Bledsoe in the last seconds of stoppage time. That gave the Red Stars the lead, but it was all Spirit in the second half.
As the game wore into extra time, the Spirit kept up the pressure until it finally paid off. Rodman sailed a long, curling cross that met the head of US Women's National Team star Kelley O'Hara, who sliced it back across the net for her first goal of the season.
