Some Final Thoughts for #ORLvSEA
@orlpride.com It's learning moment for the young players to not squander opportunities. Rookie Seven Castain played like a vet tonight. Banda is still one of the best. McCutcheon was great winning balls on the field. Hines ”You don't lose the league in first game.”

FINAL: The Orlando Pride fall 2-1 to the Seattle Reign on opening night. A two and a half hour weather delay didn't help things, but Barbra Banda got back on the scoresheet. Lots to build on if you're the Pride.
1-2 | #ORLvSEA
FULL TIME: Orlando Pride 1-2 Seattle Reign. Waved off goal makes for a controversial dropped point but missing the net cost the team three tonight. Banda with the lone goal. #ORLvSEA
Seattle Reign FC 2 - Orlando Pride 1. Reign fly across the country and find a way to take three points back to Seattle. Lots of bright spots for the Orlando Pride as they look to their Friday matchup with Denver Summit. It's a long season #ORLvSEA

McCutcheon really is the glue for this Orlando Pride side. She’s covered every inch of the pitch tonight, locking things down defensively and still finding ways to drive the attack forward. #ORLvSEA
2-1 Reign. Ratcliffe finds the back of the net on a set piece as Moorhouse punches the initial ball away, but the clearance never comes. Some will say she should’ve caught it, but with the rain pouring all half, no problem at all with a keeper choosing to punch as a former keeper. #ORLvSEA
83' - Seattle scores on the set piece, so some things never change. Ratcliffe with the header. 2-1 visitors. #ORLvSEA

Julie Doyle in for Banda. Banda puts in an excellent 80 minutes for the Pride #ORLvSEA
Raabe spent most of her Nebraska career playing as a forward, and now she’s in on a short‑term contract. I love seeing players step into whatever role the team needs and find ways to make an impact. #ORLvSEA
