Last season, she scored nine goals in 13 appearances for the Pride. Last month, she scored four goals – and probably could have had more – for the U.S. women’s national team in […]

It was just a matter of time before Rachel Hill scored her first goal of the season for the Orlando Pride. The second-year professional opened her 2018 scoring account on May 2 during a 2-0 win against the Chicago Red Stars — a result that helped Orlando earn seven points out of nine possible points […]
The Orlando Pride have done some impressive things during their five-match unbeaten streak. It started with the club’s first win of the 2018 season and now includes franchise-first wins over the Portland Thorns and Chicago Red Stars. Draws against the Utah Royals (at altitude in Rio Tinto Stadium) and the Seattle Reign (currently No. 2 […]
Things looked dangerous for the Orlando Pride for a while in Providence Park. The Pride scored two goals in the first 21 minutes of their Saturday match against the Portland Thorns, a club they’ve never beaten. Despite the early lead, the Pride never had much control over the match, and the Thorns quickly responded with […]
The Orlando Pride didn’t get too much time to dwell on a sub-par performance in a scoreless draw against the Utah Royals. An aggressive Wednesday game at altitude in Rio Tinto Stadium left both sides exhausted – and with a shared point for their troubles – and the Pride are right back on the pitch […]
The Portland Thorns scored first and had an opportunity to take all three points in Houston Wednesday night. But they couldn’t grind out the win. Swiss forward Ana-Maria Crnogorcevic scored her first goal as a Thorn, but it wasn’t enough as Portland (2-2-3, 9 points) settled for a 1-1 draw with the Houston Dash (1-3-3, […]
Orlando Pride coach Tom Sermanni can easily identify what went wrong with his club in a scoreless draw with the Utah Royals. It came down to fundamentals, he said. Luckily, fundamental flaws – rather than issues of tactics or a player’s quality – can be rectified. Despite a lively second half, the Pride settled for […]
Orlando Pride coach Tom Sermanni has some experience to draw on when it comes to assessing his players’ fatigue levels. There were spans last season when some of his international stars logged hundreds of match minutes over short periods of time. Players would leave for their national teams, play, then return and go right back […]
Chioma Ubogagu is on her way to eclipsing her goal-scoring total from her first season with the Orlando Pride. In 19 appearances (16 starts) last season for the Pride, the forward had four goals and four assists. When she inked her new deal with the Pride in February, she knew she didn’t want to repeat […]
The Orlando Pride’s attack is loaded with household names. Marta. Alex Morgan. Sydney Leroux. Heading into the 2018 season, it was expected the three of them would be the ones burying clubs under a relentless attack. Instead, the club’s less-heralded signings are paying dividends early in the year. Chioma Ubogagu and Rachel Hill — both […]
