The Western New York Flash and Washington Spirit will face each other for the first time this season in Rochester. This will the first of two games played against each other this season. In the previous NWSL season, the Flash did not win while at home against the Spirit. The Flash hold a (1-2-0) re-cord while playing the Spirit in the 2014 season. The Flash will be relying on amateur goalkeepers this week. Sabrina D’Angelo is injuried and Chantel Jones is suspended for one game due to an incident in last weeks match.

GAME #5: KANSAS CITY 0, FLASH 0

The Western New York Flash picked up its fourth point of the season, posting a 0-0 draw against FC Kansas City, at Swope Soccer Village.

The match closed out a home-and-home series with the Blues, as the two teams also faced each other last Friday at Sahlen’s Stadium in Rochester.

Despite a drop in shots on goal compared to the previous weeks game against Kansas City, the physicality of the match increased. The game saw a total of seven yellow cards, as the Flash picked up a franchise-high five in the match while Kansas City earned two cautions.

Sabrina D’Angleo was injured in the 13’, Chantel Jones came in to hold the shut out. D’Angelo will be out for 2-4 weeks..

IEW VS WASHINGTON SPIRIT

BETWEEN THE PIPES The Western New York Flash will be turning to a new set of ‘keepers for Saturday’s game, as both ros-tered goalies are unavailable to face the Spirit. Starter Sabrina D’Angelo has been ruled out for 2-4 weeks after a Grade 1 right AC separation sustained last game, while Chantel Jones was suspended one game for unsporting conduct during that same game.

To fill the two open roster spots, am-ateur goalkeepers Robyn Horner and Megan Tock have been called up.

FAMILIAR FOES Flash fans will see many faces familiar to Sahlen’s Stadium, as the visiting Washington Spirit features seven former Flash player. Those players are: Ashlyn Harris (2011), Tori Huster (2012), Estelle Johnson (2013), Veronica Perez (2013), Katherine Reynolds (2012-14), Ange-la Salem (2012-14) and Kelsey Wys (2014).

Harris, Huster, Reynolds and Sa-lem all won Championships while they were members of the Flash roster.

D’ANGELO OUT Flash starting goalkeeper Sabrina D’Angelo has been ruled out of Sat-

urday’s game after suffering a Grade 1 right AC joint separation during the Flash’s 0-0 draw at Kansas City last Thursday. D’Angelo was injured in the 13th minute after making a diving save. Chantel Jones came in to re-place her and was able to hold the shutout for the Flash’s first clean slate of the season.

JONES SUSPENDED During last Thurs-day’s match at Kansas City, goalkeeper Chantel Jones received a yellow card in the 84th minute. The foul was later reviewed by the NWSL’s Disciplinary Committee and Jones was suspended one game for the incident, it was announced Tuesday.

EDDY SIGNED The Flash has added mid-fielder Elizabeth Eddy to its roster, hav-ing signed the former LA Blues player on Thursday. Eddy’s rights were acquired in the November 2014 trade that sent for-ward Samantha Kerr to Sky Blue FC, while the Flash also received the No. 4 over-all pick in the 2015 Draft in the trade. That pick was used to select Samantha Mewis.

ANKLE INJURY FOR ANGELI Midfielder Jordan Angeli has been placed on the 45-day disabled list after suffering a Grade 2 right an-

kle sprain. Angeli, who is a former Spirit player, sustained the injury during training last week.

ON THE BRINK OF THE BREAK Follow-ing Saturday’s game, the Flash will play one more match before the 12-day break begins for the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup. The Flash’s game against Chicago on June 6 will be the club’s last game the league plays, as the NWSL will resume play on June 19. BOUNTY OF BIRTHDAYS May is a month of celebrations for the Flash off the field, as the team has nine player birthdays during the fifth month. Birthdays include: Sydney Leroux (May 7), Sabrina D’Angelo (May 11), Abby Dahlkemper (May 13), Lynn Williams (May 21), Kristen Edmonds and Becky Edwards (May 22), Jaelene Hinkle (May 28), Amanda Frisbie (May 30) and Jordan Angeli (May 31). NEXT GAME The Flash play one more game at home before the World Cup break, hosting the Chicago Red Stars on Saturday, June 6 at 7 p.m. ET. The game, presented by Wat-kins Glen International, will be Race Night as the Flash will be wearing limited-edition jer-seys that will be raffled off to fans postgame.
