    61' 1-1 Abam squares to Andrews at circle top right, breaks away up wide right. Andrews diagonal return pass down box right, Abam crosses to box top center. Somebody taps square right to Johnson standing at box top mid-right, one-touch left instep balloons waaaaaaay over bar. As long as she gets it out of her system before fall ;)

    62' 1-1 Washington Spirit Reservses subs in (1 of 3) #28 Jennifer Skogerboe for LB #9 Schuyler DeBree. (WSR roster has no #28, and Skogerboe has a blank number -- pbp guy confirms it's her, they must have found a spare jersey :giggle:)

    65' 1-1 Dougherty-Howard to arc to mid-left, flicks left to Aedo at box top wide left. Aedo runs around forehand, crosses right instep bend from 12m wide left to 4m 1/3 left. Dorsey dives in but doesn't(?) make contact, Eckerstrom holds ground and catches the tricky bounce. Aedo stays down with some leg discomfort -- twisted herself weirdly.

    66' 1-1 Aedo resumes.
    67' 1-1 Andrews +1 jump-collide with Nelson and Sullivan. Foul on Andrews. Nelson bends over to get air inside, resumes.

    68' 1-1 Jerman diagonal pass from circle top box right to 24m arc right, Andrews reaches left foot leftward but can't reel it in.

    69' 1-1 Spirit pass poked away from box top. Dougherty-Howard shoots one-touch from ~22m mid-right, wide left.

    70' 1-1 Stobbs sits down at circle back mid-right, holding right ear -- impacted? Brief stoppage.

    72' 1-1 Stobbs resumes. Spirit ground cross from 11m wide left toward spot, cleared.

    72' 1-1 Colorado subs in (1 of 3) DF #3 Renee Hurd (not shown :mad:) for MF #5 Michaela Abam.
    75' 1-1 Washington Spirit Reservses subs in (2 of 3) FW #19 Ashley Herndon for RF #7 Amber Stobbs.

    77' 1-1 Colorado diagonal pass sends Watt behind Skogerboe, through box top right to 6m mid-right. She stops hard to shake 2 overpursuing, fakes a square pass -- then swivels and shoots left instep toward right post low, total mishit weak and wide right.

    78' 1-1 Spirit buildup at 25m centerline, Dougherty-Howard trickles a shot that rolls harmlessly to Eckerstrom.

    79' 1-1 Hurd turns uncontested at box top mid-left, snipes left instep just wide left low. Everybody kind of just watched her because she's only a defender, or something ...

    81' 1-1 Watt chases down box right, bends a cross from 8m to 1m 1/3 right, Casey smothers.

    82' 1-1 Colorado wide switch to Watt chasing at 5m wide right, Skogerboe hip-charges and they joust side-by-side to corner flag. Ball stops at the arc :p, both go down at the flag. Watt pops up first, Skogerboe harasses a cross.

    84' 1-1 Zadrazil runs at 27m arc left, passes square right to Dougherty-Howard. Pass to Dorsey breaking cleanly through box top arc left -- she doesn't shoot one-touch, turns away from 2 and retreats to box top. Backpass to Aedo at arc top box left, she shoots one-touch right instep bend, Eckerstrom catches easily.

    84' 1-1 Andrews turns at 25m box right, right outstep flick through box top mid-right for Johnson cutting center-to-right. Johnson shoots one-touch from 8m right post, just over crossbar. #daytradingshockingmisses

    87' 1-1 Colorado fk at 30m left touch, Gunther drives it to spot. Hurd jumps alone facing far touch, twist-header glances off outside of left post 1/3 high and over.

    88' 2-1 Herndon(?) 1-v-2 at 6m wide right, backpass to Dorsey at box top mid-right. One-touch and-go pass down to 6m mid-right, Herndon cuts inside and crosses low to 6m center. #10 Yanara Aedo Muñoz darts around #3 Hurd like Kung Fu O'Hara, collects and settles backpedaling to 7m 2/5 right. Right instep roundhouse into back left low, Eckerstrom no chance from that range.

    89' 2-1 Johnson shoots from 22m arc top, floats right to Casey.

    90+2' (of +2?') 2-1 Watt chases to 5m mid-right, cross smothered.

    FT 2-1. Washington Spirit Reserves wins the W-League!

    FT+3' They finally ambush coach Kati Jo Spisak with the Gatorade ...

    An adorable green Deere mini-tractor trundles onto the field to bring out the large wood podium box pieces. So that's how they do it up there :coffee:

    On-field interview with #10 Yanara Aedo, with #23 Lina Granados as translator :thumbsup:

    Colorado Pride silver medals, and a two-tier team photo, standing on and before the podium, holding a framed plaque. They look ... dour.

    Washington Spirit Reserves receive their gold medals. Youth tourney: the medal-hanger stands still, and the team walks past her :inlove:

    Washington Spirit Reserves two-tier pose, bottom tier holding a huge banner that reads "2015 W-League Championship".

    #10 Yanara Aedo Muñoz receives a crystal globe trophy (surely for MVP).

    Team passes around the 2' tall trophy, which looks like it weighs about 8 ounces :D

    Don't think there was anything wrong with the goal kick that started this sequence off. Sullivan (#8) was late to realize ball was going to be a problem. Artificial turf also helped set up the ball just about perfectly for Andrews.

    Skogerboe was the field player amateur call-up for the pro team during the WWC. Don't know if it's the same jersey, though.

    At least the current NWSL trophy is better than what MLS had its first few years! :ROFLMAO:
