Aubrey Kingsbury Matchday -1 Press Conference | Quarterfinal Match vs Louisville | 11.07.25

Washington Spirit goalkeeper, Aubrey Kingsbury, provides her final thoughts ahead of the NWSL Playoff Quarterfinal against Racing Louisville FC.

She confirms that training this week felt "really good" with players back from international duty. Kingsbury details the specific tactical threat from Louisville, noting they love creating "chaos" and using long balls to find Sears. She stresses the team must control the tempo and her role is providing vocal reminders to "calm" the team and choose the right moments to counter.

Kingsbury opens up about the motivation from last year's final loss, which gives the team an "extra little edge" this year. She also praises Louisville's goalkeeper, Katie Blomer, for having a great skillset that suits their direct play. The veteran GK emphasizes the massive advantage of playing at a sold-out Audi Field, where she feels "quite invincible" in front of the supporters. She concludes by reflecting on the team's ability to navigate a season of "chaos and adversity" to secure second place.
