Less than 24 hours after playing every minute of the Orlando Pride’s second match of the NWSL Fall Series, defender Ali Krieger got back to work.
Krieger led the Pride backline in clearances against NWSL Challenge Cup champion Houston Dash, then woke up at 4:30 a.m. on Sunday to catch a flight back to Orlando.
There wasn’t time to pause — she had another match that night. This time, however, Krieger was in a studio, serving as an analyst for the Orlando City broadcast team.
When Krieger took the gig in August, she knew it could lead to this type of hectic turnaround.
