PAWTUCKET, R.I. (AP) – Tara Ladd and Trinity Rodman scored for the Washington Spirit, who defeated the Boston Legacy 2-1 on Sunday in the first meeting between the teams. <\/p>\n

Ladd’s looping header went over Boston goalkeeper Casey Murphy and rebounded into the goal in the 25th minute. <\/p>\n

The goal ended Legacy, an expansion team playing at Centerville Bank Stadium in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, at 273 minutes.<\/p>\n

Rodman picked up the ball from Gift Monday, sprinted into the box and scored with a low shot in the 31st minute, scoring his seventh goal in his last 10 games.<\/p>\n

Boston scored in the 88th minute when Sammy Smith beat Spirit goalkeeper Sandy McIver. <\/p>\n

The Spirit (9-3-3) was coming off a 1-0 midweek loss to Gotham FC in front of more than 42,000 people at Citi Field in New York. As a result of recent games, Spirit coach Adrian Gonz\u00e1lez made seven changes to his starting lineup. <\/p>\n

The Spirit moved to the top of the National Women’s Soccer League standings, tied with Gotham on points. <\/p>\n

With this loss, Legacy (4 wins, 8 losses, 4 draws) ended its winning streak at two. <\/p>\n
