The Story:

The Pride will host the Washington Spirit for their second matchup in the 2023 campaign and their first in the NWSL regular season, the first occurring on May 10 in the UKG NWSL Challenge Cup.

Orlando enters Saturday's match looking to extend its unbeaten run to four matches in league play.

Goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse tallied the second clean sheet of her NWSL career over the weekend, both of which have come in the Pride's last two regular season contests.

Quote of the Week:

"They're [Washington are] on a really good run right now, unbeaten all season. It was a tough game for us [last time], we reviewed and some of the goals are exceptional. And we'll be aware of that. I think it'll be two different teams on the day, from what we saw in the Challenge Cup. But we're on a good run as well. So we have to be mindful of them and they have to be mindful of us. We're at home, we're in front of our own fans and we're looking to continue this momentum that we've put together."

- Head Coach Seb Hines
