The Assist: Orlando Pride at North Carolina Courage - May 10, 2025
May 9, 2025 - National Women's Soccer League (NWSL)
Orlando Pride News Release
The Story:
In the Pride's last match against Portland, defender Kerry Abello became the first player in Club history to play in 50 straight matches.
Forward Barbra Banda (21) comes into Saturday's contest just two goals away from tying former Pride player Alex Morgan (23) for the second-most goals in Club history across all competitions.
The match against North Carolina Courage marks the second of back-to-back road matches for the Pride, concluding the Club's first two-game road trip of the 2025 campaign. Quote of the Week:
"Always a difficult place to go play, historically. It's always been a challenge there, the way that North Carolina likes to play. They've found some form in the last two games, as well. We're looking to bounce back from our recent result as well, so it installs an exciting game."
- Head Coach Seb Hines
