ORLANDO, Fla. (April 17, 2019) - Orlando Pride (0-2-0, 0 points) fell to the defending National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) champion North Carolina Courage (1-0-1, 4 points) on Wednesday night, by a 5-0 scoreline. The Pride will next turn its attention to Sunday’s match in Tacoma, when they play their third game in a week, this time on the road at Reign FC.
Head Coach Marc Skinner:
“I think the first half was better. You can’t give away goals like that; it’s a simple rule of football. [North Carolina are] champions and they are a set piece team.
