Summer Yates Hat Trick Leads Orlando Pride to 5-0 Victory over Chorrillo FC in Concacaf W Champions Cup

Panama City - Summer Yates' hat trick led the Orlando Pride (2-0-0, 6 points) to a 5-0 victory over Chorrillo FC (0-3-0, 0 points) in their Concacaf W Champions Cup group stage match on Tuesday night at Estadio Rommel Fernández Gutiérrez in Panama City, Panama. The win marked Orlando Pride's first in a competitive match outside of the United States.

Julie Doyle put the Pride ahead just five minutes into the match, scoring her third goal of the season across all competitions after also finding the back of the net in the Pride's opening Concacaf W Champions Cup match against LD Alajuelense.

A minute later, Yates doubled the Pride's lead after slotting home a rebound off a corner kick. She added her second goal of the night just 16 minutes later off a pass from Elyse Bennett, who logged her first assist with the Pride since joining the Club last month. Yates then stepped up to the penalty spot after Zara Chavoshi was brought down in the box in the second half. The former No. 39 overall draft pick slid her shot past a diving goalkeeper to record just the second-ever hat trick in Orlando Pride history and her first three goals in 2025 across all competitions.

Ally Lemos rounded out the scoring in the 84th minute, sealing the Pride's first road win in the Concacaf W Champions Cup and moving the side to the top of the Group A standings.

Goalkeeper Cossette Morché made her Pride debut with her first start in goal. She recorded four saves on her way to tallying her first clean sheet with the Club. The Pride's defense has yet to give up a goal in the Concacaf W Champions Cup.

Up next, the Pride return home to face North Carolina Courage at Inter&Co Stadium on Friday, Sept. 19. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET with the match being broadcast live on Prime Video.

Forward Summer Yates:

"Excited to keep going further in this tournament. We did our job. When we came in, Seb [Hines] told us to score goals, so that is what we tried to do. Getting my hat trick was awesome. I talked with Giles [Barnes] before the game, and he was definitely giving me the motivation to go out and play free and play like myself. That is what I tried to do today and just express myself and have fun with it. The team definitely helped me get there, it wasn't just me, so I am really excited."

Match Notes:

Summer Yates scored just the second hat trick in Pride history with two finishes in the first half and a penalty strike in the second. The three goals are the first three goals of the 2025 season for Yates across all competitions.

Julie Doyle scored her second goal of the tournament in as many games and her third of the year across all competitions.

Prisca Chilufya earned her first assist of the year across all competitions on Doyle's finish in the sixth minute.

Elyse Bennett earned her first assist of the season and her first assist with the Pride.

Cossette Morché made her Pride debut, earning her first start in goal and clean sheet.
