The Pride have a chance to snag their seventh home victory of the season this Saturday against Portland Thorns FC. 2017 has been a season to remember thus far for the Pride, putting in dazzling performances week after week at Orlando City Stadium.
Zeros
Orlando has earned three shutouts at home this 2017 season. Ashlyn Harris, who missed a span of the season with a muscle injury, marked her return to the Pride lineup with a shutout performance on Aug. 12 against Sky Blue FC. Not only did Harris and the Pride defense earn the shutout that day, Orlando exploded offensively en route to a 5-0 dismantling of New Jersey. The Pride’s two other shutouts this season came against the Washington Spirit (3-0) and Boston Breakers (2-0).
18-5
It’s been raining goals in Orlando City Stadium over the last six matches. The Pride have outscored opposing teams 18-5 at home since July 15 and have not lost a match - home or away - during that span. The Pride are averaging just under two goals per game in 2017 and lead the NWSL with 42 goals scored.
97.5
Pride forward Alex Morgan has been on fire in recent months - for both club and country. Morgan is averaging a goal every 97.5 minutes of NWSL competition, which ranks first in the league. She is tough to slow down, and Morgan has been thriving this season since returning to the fold in Orlando.
2 in 3
The striker’s excellent form has carried over to the U.S. WNT, too, as Morgan scored three goals in two recent friendlies against New Zealand.
