Mark Parsons had a full preseason to work with his team and made some key offseason acquisitions included Jodie Taylor and Christine Nairn, both who would finish as the team’s tops scorers with 11 and 8 goals, respectively.The beginning of the season saw similar struggles to 2013, losing 4 of the opening 6 matches. The turn-around began in Week 7, when the Spirit would outscore the Western New York Flash 3\u20132 with a brace from Jodie Taylor and own goal equalizer. The Spirit went 5 matches unbeaten mid-season and finished the season strong, losing only two of their last ten matches.Finishing 4th, the Spirit made their first NWSL Playoff appearance. They ultimately lost at Seattle Reign in a 2\u20131 match with Ver\u00f3nica P\u00e9rez scoring the Spirit’s first ever playoff goal in the 65th minute.Table of ContentsRoster[edit]Team management[edit]Competitions[edit]Preseason[edit]Regular season[edit]Regular-season standings[edit]Results summary[edit]NWSL Playoffs[edit]Squad statistics[edit]Transfers[edit]In[edit]Out[edit]Loan in[edit]Honors and awards[edit]NWSL Yearly Awards[edit]NWSL Team of the Year[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]Roster[edit]As of April 24, 2014:[1]Note: Flags indicate national team as defined under FIFA eligibility rules.
