On Friday, the Orlando Pride returned to Camping World Stadium for the first time since July. The Pride players returned from an Olympic break, in which six Orlando Pride players traveled to Rio to represent their countries in the Olympic tournament. Amongst those who returned to the starting lineup tonight were goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris and forward Alex Morgan.
“It was really nice to play in front of our fans again,” Morgan said after the match against the Washington Spirit. “For myself, it’s been almost two months since I’ve played here at Camping World Stadium.”
Monica Hickmann Alves, who represented Brazil at the Olympics, returned to Orlando this week and came in as a substitute in the 64th minute.
