Orlando Pride News Release
Louisville, KY - Orlando Pride (8-4-1, 25 points) were defeated 2-0 by Racing Louisville (6-5-2, 20 points) on Friday night at Lynn Family Stadium. The Pride will now enter an extended international break and return to action at Inter&Co Stadium on Sunday, Aug. 3.

69' Taylor Flint (Penalty Kick) - LOU 2, ORL 0
Head Coach Seb Hines:
"Obviously disappointed with the result. It came down to two set pieces with a corner, which we take a lot of pride in defending corners and a penalty. Had a proud moment for [Simone Jackson] and her family to get that first professional appearance and hopefully she can get many more."
Match Notes:
Forward Simone Jackson made her professional debut coming into the match in the 71st minute as a substitute.
Head Coach Seb Hines made one change to the Starting XI after his side's last match against Bay FC, with Oihane reentering the lineup.
