It is a Woodlouse Hunting Spider, Dysdera crocata.
Hello. As noted already, it might be a woodlouse hunger, but Woodlouse hunters are usually more vividly orange. I think this spider is more likely a broad face sac spider. Check out the link for pics.

You referenced me to some of my own photos. 🙂 I usually go by the curved and crossed fangs of D. crocata and the eyes of T. tranquillus. The Broad-faced Sac Spiders have horizontal bands of eyes that run broadly across the face. The eyes are small, I look for the glimpses of light on them.
Awesome. Thank you for the info.
