Former TCU soccer standout Messiah Bright has made it look easy since transitioning into her professional career with the Orlando Pride of the National Women’s Soccer League. The No. 21 overall selection of the 2023 NWSL Draft has quickly emerged as one of the league’s top goal scorers this season, currently ranking fifth in the Golden Boot standings with six goals to lead all rookies. Bright has helped lead the Orlando Pride to a 7-9-1 overall match record as well as a 5-4 record at home. The former Horned Frog star made her debut for the Pride on March 26 and enjoyed an excellent preseason, scoring two goals against the Washington Spirit during a 3-2 victory in the team’s final preseason match of the year.
