Coach Hines on the Challenge
Head Coach Seb Hines acknowledges the quick turnaround between games and the change in climate. “It’s not our first time doing this. We had a lot of experience last year with quick turnarounds. So, we’ll go on the road, we’ll go to Chicago. It’ll be a different climate from how it is here in Florida, so we have to adjust to that. But it’s part of the game, it’s part of playing in NWSL and we have to thrive in those moments. We can’t look for excuses. The game’s right in front of us, and we have to go after it and get three points,” said Hines.
Orlando Pride’s Offensive Prowess
The Orlando Pride have demonstrated a strong offensive start to the campaign. Through the first two matches, their 45 total shot attempts and 19 shots on target are tied for the third-highest totals at this stage of a season in NWSL history.
