The Orlando Pride fought hard without Alex Morgan, Marta, and five others but Mallory Pugh’s late heroics led Washington to a 2-0 win at Maryland SoccerPlex. Orlando is now winless in its first two games, dropping to 0-1-1 (1 point).
With seven total players injured or on international duty — eight counting Camila, who hurt her knee late last year — Orlando Pride Head Coach Tom Sermanni had some choices to make with his starting XI. Up top was easy, as Chioma Ubogagu and Rachel Hill slotted in up top for Alex Morgan and Marta.
