The Orlando Pride are three-quarters of the way done with their inaugural season, currently sitting in seventh place in the NWSL standings with a 6-9-0 record and 18 points. The team has struggled at times to perform consistently to the expectations of Head Coach Tom Sermanni, especially when missing six starting players like Alex Morgan to national team duties — whether training camps or the Olympic Games in Rio.
The normally patient Sermanni, as reported by Orlando Sentinel soccer beat writer Alicia DelGallo, has changed his mind and started to pursue trade options to improve the team for a final playoff push.
