That season, Naeher allowed 53 goals in 24 games. Bledsoe allowed 30 goals in 21 games. It’s the final game of the season for the Spirit, who finished the season with a 2-17-5 record (11 points). Ship’s goal snapped a streak of seven games without a goal, and the draw snapped a 10-game losing streak. Sky Blue FC are now 0-16-6 (6 points) with two games left to play and still in search of their first win. Sky Blue FC will have to play another game on Tuesday, their second in three days. Tuesday’s game will be in Chicago vs. the Red Stars. A win can keep the Red Stars from clinching a playoff berth and make Saturday’s game between the Red Stars and Utah Royals FC a meeting with the final playoff spot on the line. Bledsoe wasted no time getting to work on setting the record, making a leaping stop on a shot by [**Madison Tiernan**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/madison-tiernan) in the 5th minute. Sky Blue FC’s best chance in the first half came on a penalty kick attempt in the 27th minute after Killion was fouled in the box by **Tiffany McCarty**. [**Shea Groom**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/shea-groom) took the spot kick and sent Bledsoe diving the wrong way, but her shot hit off the crossbar and the score remained 0-0. [Empty Body] Bledsoe set the record with a save in the 47th minute on a shot by [**Jen Hoy**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/jennifer-hoy). She followed it up with her final save of the morning a minute later on a shot by Groom. [Empty Body] The Spirit got their goal in the 71st minute, their first score since July 7. Ship, in just her second game of the season since returning from an ACL tear, scored her first goal since August 4 of last year — [also against Sky Blue FC](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/game/sky-blue-vs-washington-spirit-2017-08-04) — and her second professional goal. [**Havana Solaun**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/havana-solaun) won the ball at midfield, and quickly passed to Ship, racing down the right side of the field. Ship’s initial shot was saved by Sky Blue goalkeeper [**Kailen Sheridan**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/kailen-sheridan), as was [**Francisca Ordega**](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/players/francisca-ordega)’s shot off the rebound. Ordega and Ship persisted though, and when Sheridan again saved Ordega’s shot, Ship was in the right spot to knock in the rebound. [Empty Body] After the goal, Sky Blue FC had a few free kick opportunities, but eventually found the game-tying goal in the 87th minute. Following a throw-in, Killion passed it to Tiernan, making a run to the endline on the right side of the attack. Tiernan crossed it into the box and Groom let the ball go between in her legs, dummying it to Killion, making a run into the box. Killion struck the ball one-time and with power, over Bledsoe to make it 1-1. The goal is Killion’s second of the season and second in three games. Sheridan made five saves in the game, bringing her season total to 97, giving her a shot at breaking Bledsoe’s new record with two games to go.
