In an emotional night at the Maryland Soccerplex, a strong first half performance leads the Spirit past Orlando
In front of a record 5,750 fans, the Washington Spirit returned to their early season dominance, beating the Orlando Pride 2-0. Estefania Banini gave the Spirit a 9th minute lead, while Francisca Ordega struck five minutes before halftime to help the Spirit to their fifth win of the season. Saturday night was the first game for an Orlando-based sports team since the horrific attack at Pulse nightclub last weekend and the two teams and fans all paid tribute to the victims and their families throughout the night.
