Low of the Week
This week the Washington Spirit announced that midfielder Andi Sullivan would miss the remainder of the season. Sullivan suffered a torn ACL in the Spirit’s loss to the Orlando Pride on October 6. It’s a crushing blow for Sullivan who has played well this season and the Washington Spirit as playoffs are just around the corner.
