As they continue their first week of preseason, the Pride are motivated by last year’s disappointment.
Since falling at Portland in the semifinal, the players have been itching to get back at it.
“Well obviously our break was a little bit shorter, but I think most of us like it because the offseason seemed so long,” Kristen Edmonds said. “I worked with some of the girls that were around this offseason and we just got ready to go for when everyone got here.”
The Pride are focused on a single goal this season - winning the 2018 National Women’s Soccer League Championship.
