The Story:
- The Pride will look to bounce back from their first loss of the season when they travel to Red Bull Arena to take on NJ/NY Gotham FC. In the first meeting between the two clubs, the Pride came away with a 2-0 victory at Inter&Co Stadium. Adriana scored a brace within the first 20 minutes of the match to give the Pride control.
- With a win on Sunday, the Pride can break the NWSL record for most wins in a single season at 18. Orlando’s next point will break the NWSL record for most points in a single season with 58.
- Marta is one assist away from her 20th all-time in her NWSL career. The Brazilin also scored her eighth goal of the season against the Washington Spirit, extending her all-time Club lead at 39.
Quote of the Week:
“It’s two teams that are at the top of the table, obviously it’s going to be competitive. They’ve [Gotham FC] got a lot of good quality players, so it’ll be a good challenge for us to go away from home and hopefully bring back three points.”
- Head Coach Seb Hines
