The Washington Spirit had a successful home opener at Audi Field, with new coaches and players leading to a 2-1 victory over Bay FC. Players like Hal Hershfelt scored their first professional goals, contributing to the team's win in the NWSL season.
The Spirit had a curious draft day this year, trading two starters/veterans, but the No. 3 and No. 5 overall picks from this year each just scored their first pro goals in full-90 performances to lift Washington to its fist win of the #NWSL season, 2-1 over Bay FC.
What a time to score your first professional goal! @halhershfelt draws the @WashSpirit level. #WASvBAY | #IONNWSL https://t.co/kKfDIwpBbE
