The 23-year-old Australian midfielder reported to Pride training for the first time this year Tuesday morning after missing all of preseason camp and the first month of the season while competing with the Australian women’s […]

Still, week after week, the wins didn’t come. Against the Houston Dash on Sunday in Orlando City Stadium, during the Pride’s final match before […]
Orlando Pride players arrived in style for their home match Sunday against the Houston Dash. The 5 p.m. National Women’s Soccer League game also served as 90s night, and everyone dressed the part — even Cassius Dwyer, son of Sydney Leroux and Dom Dwyer. The club also sold special 90s-themed merchandise, including colorful shirts, socks […]
Rachel Hill got a different look at the Orlando Pride last week. The forward was out with a groin strain during the Pride’s 2-1 loss to the Portland Thorns. She watched the match on television and saw a couple of issues plaguing the squad through its 0-2-1 start. “It’s always interesting to watch and even […]

No one with the Orlando Pride is pleased with the results of the club’s 2018 start, but it’s not like Tom Sermanni’s crew has never been through a rough start. In fact, a 0-2-1 start is identical to how the Pride got started last season. The Pride lost two of their first three matches in […]

The Courage (3-0-0, 9 points) are the only undefeated team in the NWSL so far this season. North Carolina’s balanced attack and strong defense has helped the preseason pick to win the league title stay […]
There’s a Twitter beef brewing between Orlando Pride forward Sydney Leroux and Merritt Paulson, majority owner for the Portland Thorns and the Portland Timbers of MLS. Leroux on Tuesday tweeted Paulson “implemented a rule” that meant she couldn’t bring her 1-year-old son, Cassius, onto the pitch after Sunday’s game between the Orlando Pride and the […]
The return of star forward Alex Morgan wasn’t enough to spark the Orlando Pride’s attack. Three games into the season, the Pride certainly need a spark. Orlando scored an early goal to snatch its first lead of the season, but couldn’t keep the Portland Thorns from finding the back of the net on a […]
The history between the Orlando Pride and the Portland Thorns includes more than just a disappointing 2017 NWSL semifinal showing for the Pride.
