for the second time this season, first setting
the total in a 2-1 win against FC Kansas City.
LOSADA IN THE LEAD: Vicky Losada’s
assist in Sunday’s game extended her
league-leading total to six on the season. The

of Beverly Goebel and Jess Fishlock, and
Washington’s Diana Matheson. Losada has
had an assist in three-straight games, and two

assists have been off of corners. Brittany Taylor
has scored both of her goals this season off of
Vicky Losada set pieces, and tallied an assist
on Friday off a free kick to Carli Lloyd. Sam

with a record of 3-3-0. Scoring in every game but

14 goals while allowing five goals against.
HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE: With the
conclusion of its current four-game homestand

against the Reign, the Flash will end the
season playing four of its last eight games
at home to end the season. The Flash have
a record of 4-2-1 at home this season.
THE PLAYOFF PUSH: Friday’s win against
the last-place Breakers vaulted the Flash into
a three-way tie for third place. However, the
Washington Spirit’s win on Saturday bumped
the Flash down into a three-way tie for fourth
place. Due to a positive goal differential the
Flash currently own the tie-breaker for the
final playoff spot. A win Wednsday could put
the Flash in sole possesion of third-place.

Reign this season, the Flash have lost points
from a winning position both times. After
handing the Reign just its second tie of the
season, the Flash lost at home to the Reign
2-1. With an all-time home record of 1-1-1
against the Reign, a win wednesday would
tie the regular season series at 1-1-1 as well.
WAMBACH OUT A MONTH: Upon returning
from camp with the US Women’s National Team,
Abby Wambach will be out for about three weeks
due to her LCL sprain. Wambach, who leads the
Flash in every offensive category against the
Reign, has been sidelined since May 31st. It has
been announced that the forward will complete
two weeks of rehab and another two weeks of
training before being considered for game play.

GAME 14 RECAP: FLASH 2, BREAKERS 1
The Flash took on the Boston Breakers for the first time this season, with a chance to move into
playoff position. It was a physical game with 23 total fouls, and the Flash led the Breakers in every
offensive category.
After a scoreless first half, Carli Lloyd scored her fifth goal of the year to put the Flash up 1-0. Brittany
Taylor found Lloyd in the penalty box on a well-placed free kick, which Lloyd headed into the side
netting past keeper Alyssa Naeher.
The lead lasted just over 10 minutes for the Flash, when the Breakers equalized through rookie Nkem
Ezurike. The forward was able to finish a through-ball from Maddy Evans.
As the game was winding down, Lloyd struck again for the Flash, after a give-and-go with NWSL
assist leader Vicky Losada. Lloyd’s brace was her second of the season, and she now leads the team
in goals with six.
The win moved the Flash into a three-way tie for third place, but, due to a Washignton Spirit win
Saturday, the Flash curently sit in a three-way tie for fourth.
