April 18, 2025 - National Women's Soccer League (NWSL)
Orlando Pride News Release
Saturday's match against the Washington Spirit will be a rematch of the 2025 NWSL Challenge Cup on March 7, in which the Spirit prevailed in penalties following a 1-1 scoreline after full-time.
In NWSL regular season play, the Pride have won four straight over Washington, after winning just four of the previous 16 regular season matches.
Following the win against Seattle Reign FC, the Pride are just the fourth team in NWSL history to start the regular season with four straight wins. Quote of the Week:
"Two teams [Orlando Pride and Washington Spirit] that are competing to ultimately win the Shield. There's not a lot of room for error, it's fine margins. They are coming to our place, and we want to make that a hostile environment with the fans coming out and supporting us. It should turn out to be an entertaining game. Like I said, both teams are in good run of form and we're hoping that we get the good side of it by getting the three points."
- Head Coach Seb Hines
