Big Grass Spider eating an Unlucky HouseFly

If anyone can identify this spider, that'd be great. I found it in the garage of my sister's new house while painting the walls. Go here: nature.berkeley.edu I narrowed it down to the Grass Spiders and the female "Zoropsis spinimana." Please leave your thoughts in the comment box!

If you noticed in the video, the baby black widow was crawling on the spider.
