The Pride didn’t have any spare time to return home in between two road games during a four-day span. Instead, the team left Chicago after its 2-1 win over the Red Stars on Wednesday night and immediately headed to Washington D.C. to prepare for the Pride’s match against the Spirit.
The win over the Red Stars gave the Pride a boost of confidence, notching Orlando’s fourth victory of the season. For Pride coach Marc Skinner, the challenge now is to piece together consecutive positive results.
“What we have to do now is take another step against a Washington team that I think is a very good team, one of the best in the league,” Skinner said.
