The Houston Dash (4-8-4, 16 points) return home Saturday evening to host the Orlando Pride (6-10-0, 18 points) in Carli Lloyd’s first game back at BBVA Compass Stadium since April.
Orlando enters this match with a four-game losing streak. Led by US Women’s National Team star Alex Morgan, the Pride currently sit in seventh place, two points ahead of Houston and nine points from the final playoff spot. The newest NWSL franchise lost its third home game of the year last Friday to the Washington Spirit. Christine Niarn’s game-winning goal in the 57th minute secured Washington’s first win in the Sunshine State.
