The Orlando Pride acquired the rights to Erika Tymrak from Kansas City, along with midfielder Gunny Jónsdóttir, on Jan. 30, 2021. In exchange, the Pride gave up the rights to Kristen Edmonds and a second-round draft pick. Tymrak had retired in January of 2020 but decided to return to her pro career, and the Pride signed her to a contract on Feb. 5 of last year, just days after acquiring her rights. The Pride picked up Tymrak’s 2022 contract option last December, following the 2021 season.
Let’s look back at Tymrak’s second year with the Pride.
