Washington, D.C. – The Washington Spirit’s away match against NJ/NY Gotham FC on Sunday, June 23 will now kick off at 1:30 p.m. EDT, the clubs announced today.

In the first matchup on CBS, Washington secured a 2-0 victory behind a game-winning goal from standout rookie Croix Bethune and an insurance goal from the club’s all-time leading scorer, Ashley Hatch.
Next weekend’s match will be the first for the Spirit on ESPN under the NWSL’s groundbreaking new broadcast deal.
