After a somewhat pedestrian first half at the Citrus Bowl last night, the Orlando Pride got on the front foot early in the second half and scored three times after the break to send an NWSL-record crowd into a frenzy. Jasmyne Spencer and Alex Morgan pressured Houston into an own-goal early in the second period, Lianne Sanderson scored on a quickly taken free kick, and Alex Morgan finished the Pride's scoring with a great goal from the run of play.
It all added up to a 3-1 victory over the Houston Dash and a happy bunch of Orlandoans.
