I’m walking away from this season with the belief that being in the championship game is the genuine expectation for ownership. Some teams say it but I believe Kang will always move heaven and earth to do see it out. We’re always going to be in the mix to take a shot.
Last year hurt but it at least felt like the start of something. Now...who knows?

The Mystics earn the No. 4 pick following the 2026 WNBA Draft Lottery.
Washington also owns the 9th and 11th overall picks.

Listened to @heyspirits.bsky.social today. Hearing people much more knowledgeable about soccer than I discuss the final helped me process it and appreciate the season. It felt like the closure I needed. Thank you @838carlisle.bsky.social, @annieelliott.bsky.social, + @ellabrockway.bsky.social. 💛🖤

I generally try not to comment on Twitter but Isaac Chotiner is over there giving Semafor body blows right now and I just want to say I find it alarming that he's allowed to come for you without warning (asking for an interview)

somehow this made the week worse
Kysha Sylla posted a goodbye message on Instagram.
No announcements from the Spirit yet, but it seems clear they're not going to renew her loan from Lyonnes.
The Spirit enter the offseason with an intl. roster spot crunch: 13 players (incl. Sylla) for 10 spots...but that'll be 8 spots on 1/1/2026.

The Spirit traded with Orlando and Louisville for 2025 intl spots, and will have to give those back.
Going to be a big offseason for getting residency for players like Miura & Abiodun, who have been in the US for a few years (that'd make them domestic players for NWSL roster purposes).

Two things can be true:
1. Gotham has Esther, Lavelle, Shaw, and Purce, you're always at risk for their higher conversion rate settling a coin-flip game.
2. Shouldn't Gotham be in far fewer coin-flip games, seeing as how they have the players they have?

Gotham scored off their biggest chance of the match, fairly consistent with their season. A 54% conversion rate on great chances is probably unsustainable, but Gotham's finishing can stay bonkers longer than you can stay solvent.

We could have a Stanford-Washington matchup in the College Cup semis and both teams will be playing for something greater. Andrea Kitahata of Stanford is the only player still there who played with Katie Meyer so she’ll want to win the natty for her, and Washington of course is playing for Mia.

10000% agree and I truly just hope they know we love them and are proud of them! Everyone has games they regret, but Spirits are for life
This especially, i more than anyone would’ve loved the championship for them to be the cherry on top for what they did this season. but this team is special and we got to watch them pull together in real time. Fans know the accomplishments the spirit have made and that should matter the most
I completely agree. This team is something special and they don't need a trophy or medals to prove it. Though, it would be nice because it feels like a lot of outsiders brushed past all of the accomplishments this year. This episode was great and helped me process. Group therapy indeed.

This is kinda all I wanted to hear. An acknowledgment from him, and a promise to learn from it. Coaches aren’t going to make the right call every time, and I have faith that next time he’ll do it better.
Adrián González on the Hershfelt substitution:
"With Hal's situation, we were receiving information that she wanted to continue, that she was trying [to do so]... It is circumstances that we need to learn [from]. Obviously now we can say the sub was late."

This is the flip side of the substitution: the Spirit have had an unshakable faith in one another, it's where all those last-second game-winning/equalizing goals came from this year.
Definitely easy to say "make the sub" for media as outsiders, we don't have those same bonds with that group.

That decision to make the sub in the moment is absolutely going to be talked about for a minute but in the grand scheme of things the unity this team has is a product of what Gonzalez has done this season and i look forward to what he will be able to do with this team in 2026

And also when we look back at the overall journey, it was a hell of a season:
• Challenge Cup win
• Trin, Rose, Casey all with epic result changing goals
• Aubrey playoff heroics once again
• Beating Orlando in Orlando—twice!
• Just watching them persevere
Bring on 2026, come what may until then
