The Orlando Pride signed English forward Jodie Taylor on July 8. They had lost Alex Morgan (United States) and Marta (Brazil) to the Olympics, and Taylor was brought in to pick up the offensive slack. The striker got off to a good start, scoring in back-to-back games, but was unable to find the scoresheet consistently in an ultimately disappointing campaign.
Statistical Breakdown
Taylor made her Pride debut on July 24 against OL Reign in Orlando. She went on to start each of the final 13 games, recording a total of 960 minutes. After taking some time to integrate into the team, Taylor seemed to hit her stride, scoring in her third and fourth games.
