Merry Monday morning, Mane Landers! We were able to enjoy some soccer over the weekend due to a pair of draws from the Orlando Pride and the United States Women’s National Team. Not only that, but there’s more soccer this week with the USWNT taking on France tomorrow, the Pride hosting NJ/NY Gotham FC on Wednesday, and Orlando City hosting Atlanta United Saturday afternoon. But for now, let’s get to the links!
Orlando Pride Players Shine in Their Debuts
The youngsters have already started contributing in Orlando, with the Pride’s two goals against Racing Louisville FC coming from Taylor Kornieck and Abi Kim. Kornieck impressed with her size and used it to perfection on her goal, scoring with a header. Kim had a rocket of a shot that gave Orlando a temporary lead. Of course, giving up the late equalizer brings up bad memories for both players and supporters alike. Ali Riley and Meggie Dougherty Howard were key parts of the Pride’s game plan, with Dougherty Howard assisting on both goals.
