Happy Sunday, Mane Land! Not the greatest weekend for Orlando soccer, but as their social media teams always insist, “On to the next!” Let’s get to the links.
A terrible goalkeeping mistake in the ninth minute let the Spirit open the scoring as Washington’s Crystal Thomas took advantage of a lackadaisical Ashlyn Harris. Marta did well to score to pull Orlando back into it before halftime, only to see the Spirit’s Ashley Hatch score the winning goal in the 59th minute. The 2-1 loss on the road did nothing to help the Pride climb from the bottom of the standings.
