After Record-Setting Home Opener, Pride Returns to Orlando to Host Seattle on Sunday

Pride Seattle Preview

ORLANDO, Fla. (May 6, 2016) ā€“ After its second road match of the season, Orlando Pride will return home when it hosts Seattle Reign FC at 5 p.m. ET on Sunday at Camping World Stadium, formerly known as the Orlando Citrus Bowl. The Prideā€™s last match at home was one for the record books, as the Club not only picked up its first-ever win ā€“ a 3-1 victory over the Houston Dash ā€“ but saw 23,403 supporters pack the stands to set a new National Womenā€™s Soccer League (NWSL) single-game attendance record.


Tickets for the home match are available at orlando-pride.com or by calling 855-ORL-CITY. Season tickets are available for just $15 a game and can be purchased at orlando-pride.com/tickets.


The match will also be streamed live on orlando-pride.com/live.


The Pride enter Sundayā€™s match looking to rebound from a 1-0 loss at Chicago on May 1, after Christen Pressā€™ 65th minute score proved to be the game-winner. Orlando held the majority of possession in the cold-weather match but was unable to convert its chances and beat Alyssa Naeher.


Pride goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris was, again, a standout for her team on the pitch, making five saves to keep the Club within striking distance. One of those stops, a 79th minute diving save, would go on to earn Harris back-to-back Save of the Week honors.


Seattle, the defending NWSL Shield Winners, comes into the match riding a two-match winning streak, spurred by the contributions of back-to-back NWSL Player of the Week Kim Little.


Last week, Little scored the gameā€™s lone goal to give the Reign a 1-0 victory over 2015 Champion FC Kansas City. The week prior, she was key to her clubā€™s 3-0 win over Boston, having a hand in all tallies with a goal and two assists.


Sundayā€™s match at the newly dubbed Camping World Stadium will feature a battle of two of the worldā€™s best goalkeepers, as Harris will matchup between the pipes with U.S. Womenā€™s National Team counterpart Hope Solo.


The game will be the first of a two-game home stand for the Pride, who next host the Western New York Flash on Saturday, May 14 at 7:30 p.m. at Camping World Stadium.
