The Washington Spirit head south to take on the struggling Orlando Pride tonight, and they’ll be looking to shake off probably their toughest result of an otherwise strong 2019 season. Last week’s 2-1 home loss to the North Carolina Courage is a test of this group’s resolve. Are they able to get back to their best after an off-night ended their unbeaten home record? They certainly can’t expect an easy night against a desperate team that happens to have Marta back in the fold.
Key player: Meggie Dougherty Howard
Playing deep in the midfield, Dougherty Howard is going to be tested today.
