Bethune goal pulls the Spirit into a 2-2 draw on the road against Angel City
LOS ANGELES (AP) --- Croix Bethune scored on a header in the 71st minute to
pull the Washington Spirit into a 2-2 draw with Angel City on Thursday night in
the National Women's Soccer League.
The Spirit (10-4-7) remained in second place in the league standings behind the
Kansas City Current with a nine-game unbeaten run.
The draw stopped a two-game losing streak for Angel City (6-9-6), which was
below the playoff line but still within reach of a berth.
Trinity Rodman's penalty attempt was stopped but she scored on the rebound to
give the Spirit the lead in the 12th minute.
Just two minutes later, rookie Evelyn Shores scored her first NWSL goal off a
cross from Gisele Thompson. Thompson has five assists this season, tied for the
league lead.
Angel City went ahead in the 56th on an own goal by Spirit defender Tara
McKeown. Bethune pulled Washington back even with her header.
Deborah Abiodun was bloodied when she caught a cleat in the head in a collision
with Angel City's Jun Endo that caused a lengthy delay in the first half.
Abiodun returned to the match with a wrap on her head.
