The Orlando Pride extended their unbeaten streak to five matches on Sunday with a 1-1 draw on the road against the Washington Spirit. Here are three things we learned from the match:
Strikers Alex Morgan and Sydney Leroux scored the first six goals of the regular season for the Pride. The stars’ success has been an early highlight for the Pride, providing a highlight reel to kickstart the team’s scoring and solidify its five-game unbeaten streak.
But ahead of Sunday’s match, coach Marc Skinner talked about the necessity of rounding out the team’s “Plan B” — what to do when Leroux and Morgan are called up, injured or simply unable to score.
