Mariana Larroquette, or simply 'Larro' to fans, seamlessly integrated herself into the fabric of Orlando Pride. Making her official debut in the 60th minute of the match, she found the net 4 minutes later, adding to a 4-goal haul, but also contributed to a resounding 5-0 victory.

However, the one challenge Larro is still grappling with is the unrelenting Florida heat.
No stranger to the NWSL, Larroquette returns with a fervent hunger for retribution. Her journey, spanning stints with KC Current, European, the Mexican league, and the grandeur of the World Cup, has shaped her into a more mature player.
Orlando Pride Seb Hines mentioned this about Mariana: "Larroquette, coming in and you can see the hunger that she brings to try and score every moment. She wants to score. And like I said, they fit in really well to the group and what we expect from them.”
