2026 National Women's Soccer League

Entities: Denver Summit · Washington Spirit · Sofia Cantore · Trinity Rodman

Overview

In late July the Washington Spirit kept building on their surge. On July 20 they edged Boston Legacy 2‑1 at Centreville Bank Stadium, with Tara Rudd’s header ending Boston’s 273‑minute shutout streak and Trinity Rodman adding her seventh goal in ten games. The win moved the Spirit (9‑3‑3) level on points with Gotham FC at the top of the NWSL table.

A week later, on July 26, the Spirit earned a 1‑0 victory over expansion side Denver Summit. Sofia Cantore scored the solitary goal in the 61st minute after a cross‑bar assist from Rodman, despite four Spirit players being away at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. The match followed a goalless draw earlier in the season that had attracted a record crowd of more than 63,000.

These results kept the Spirit in first place heading into August, while other league action saw Racing Louisville defeat Angel City and Seattle Reign shut out the San Diego Wave.
