The Seattle Reign swarmed the Orlando Pride from the opening kickoff with high pressure and decisive and accurate ball movement and it showed in the final score, with the hosts claiming a 5-2 victory to even the season series at a game apiece. A season-high Seattle crowd of 5,103 saw a lot of offense in what will go down as the most lopsided loss of the Pride's opening season to date.
With Hope Solo out, the Pride (6-8-0, 18 points) would have done well to get shots on backup goalkeeper Haley Kopmeyer, but with the Reign's relentless pressure and a lot of careless giveaways in the midfield, Orlando never got many opportunities to do that.
