When Orlando Pride defenders Shelina Zadorsky and Ali Krieger take the pitch at the Maryland SoccerPlex on Saturday, it’ll be a homecoming for both of them.
Krieger’s in her second season with the Pride (0-0-1, 1 point), but she spent her first four NWSL seasons with the Washington Spirit. Zadorsky was acquired in the offseason from the Spirit via trade – last season she was the Spirit’s captain.
And both players were clear Saturday’s 3:30 p.m. match against the Spirit (0-1-0, 0 points), which will be featured as the Game of the Week on Lifetime, is a business trip.
