Pride vs. Florida State: Orlando Wins 1-0 in Preseason Match Shortened by Inclement Weather

The Orlando Pride finished off their preseason schedule with a 1-0 victory over Florida State University at the Citrus Bowl in a match that only lasted 32 minutes due to lightning and severe weather. With the win -- wins are wins, regardless of long much time was played -- the Pride finish their preseason undefeated, outscoring all opponents 17-1.

Lianne Sanderson scored the game's only goal in the 24th minute, shortly before a large bolt of lightning, followed by a loud clap of thunder, sent the two teams scurrying back to their locker rooms. After a short delay, the remainder of the game was canceled out of consideration for player safety.
