ORLANDO, Florida (Via U.S. Soccer) – The U.S. Under-23 Women’s National Team fell 3-0 to the Orlando Pride during its training camp in Florida.
U.S. Women’s National Team pool player Kristen Edmonds scored the first two goals in the first half and Jasmyne Spencer added a third in the 72nd minute.
Edmonds opened the scoring in the 12th minute, stepping in to intercept a pass from a U.S. defender and taking the ball in alone for the goal. In the 25th minute, Edmonds collected a long ball from Steph Catley that was played on with a creative flick from rookie Danica Evans and then scored her second of the game.
Spencer finished the scoring when she fired in Edmonds’ cross from the left, Catley created the play with another well-placed long ball, picking out Edmonds running down the line.
The U-23 WNT will next get together for a summer trip to Sweden in June.
