The Orlando City ECNL teams produced eight wins during their opening weekend in matches against the Atlanta Fire and GSA, marking the most victories in a weekend for the program.
After finishing 19th in the overall ECNL club rankings last season, the young Lions opened the season in strong fashion as they continue to aim for top 15 status in this year’s campaign.
“This was a special weekend for not only the club but also all of our players, parents, and coaching staff who dedicate so much time and resources to help make this program a success,” said ECNL and Girls’ Director of Coaching Alan Hough. “We hope to continue building on the strong results in all age groups.”
