Orlando Pride
Orlando Pride 2019 NWSL Preview
The 2019 NWSL season starts up this weekend and the Orlando Pride will open their fourth year in the league, looking to get back to the playoffs after missing out in 2018. With 2019 being a World Cup year, this will be an interesting (yeah, let’s go with that word) season, given the large chunk of the Pride that will be missing on international duty while league games are going on.
There have been big changes at the top for the Pride since they last played a match, but precious few differences at the roster level. Let’s take a look at what lies ahead.
How Did the Orlando Pride Finish in 2018?
The Pride ended 2018 in seventh place in the nine-team NWSL, finishing 8-10-6 and on 30 points — seven points shy of a playoff spot and two out of sixth place, while 19 points ahead of eighth place Washington. The Spirit and last place Sky Blue were awful last year and to only finish above those two clubs can only be seen as disappointing given the quality on the team’s roster.
The Pride were in a pretty good position until the end of the season, when the club went winless over the final six matches and lost the last four in a row. The downward spiral at the end cost the team a postseason spot but it was merely a magnification of an underwhelming year that saw Orlando win consecutive games only one time and that came against the aforementioned basement teams, Sky Blue FC and the Washington Spirit.
What’s New in 2019?
There haven’t many changes for the Pride since we last saw them but there’s been a really big one. Head Coach Tom Sermanni and the Pride parted ways at the end of the 2018 season and after a lengthy spell Marc Skinner was brought in to replace him in January. Skinner, the former Birmingham City manager, is just the second head coach in the club’s history after three seasons under Sermanni. Additionally, the Pride announced a dedicated full-time general manager in the hiring of Erik Ustruck.
As for player changes, there haven’t been many, but let’s get to those now.
Who’s Out?
There weren’t many departures after the 2018 season, but the club lost two Brazilian international defenders in Monica and Poliana. Both were mutual departures, with Poliana headed back to her native Brazil and Monica reportedly having decided to accept an offer from another club. However, Monica has been training with the Pride this preseason and there’s an outside chance she could even be re-signed.
The other departure was midfielder Christine Nairn, who was shipped off to the Houston Dash in exchange for an international roster slot in 2019. With Poliana leaving and Camila receiving her green card, that should mean three additional slots available to Ustruck and Skinner for player signings once the European season is over, but that remains to be seen.
Who else is out? Well, striker Sydney Leroux will miss most, if not all, of the season due to pregnancy. There’s a chance she could return after delivery if her body responds to her safe and gradual return to training.
Who’s In?
Only one of the few new faces in Orlando is actually under contract as of this writing. The Pride recently traded a fourth-round selection in the 2020 NWSL College Draft to the North Carolina Courage for defender Morgan Reid. The Duke product was a national team replacement player for the Courage but was signed a few weeks ago and is thus eligible to play. The other two new faces are 2019 NWSL College Draft selections Erin Greening and Marisa Viggiano. Skinner told us on the Mane Land PawedCast that he can envision both Greening and Viggiano as future productive NWSL players, but to date they still must be signed by the team.
What’s the New Jersey?
The new kit will be unveiled this Friday evening at Lake Eola Park at the Pride in the Park Kit Unveil event. The club’s 2019 home jersey will be revealed at that time as part of the team’s 2019 Kickoff to Soccer series of events in Central Florida.
How Will the World Cup Impact the Squad?
The World Cup will have a dramatic impact on Marc Skinner’s squad in 2019. The club could lose as many as nine players in the lead-up to, and during, this summer’s tournament. Certainly the Pride will be without Alex Morgan, Ashlyn Harris, Marta, Alanna Kennedy, Emily van Egmond, and Shelina Zadorsky. Orlando could also be without Chioma Ubogagu, Camila, and Ali Krieger, who are all on the cusp of their national team rosters.
Skinner has spoken repeatedly this off-season about getting their backups ready to step in and play so that there won’t be a drop-off in quality when the internationals leave. However, it is naïve to think the squad will be as good without all of those top-notch players, especially considering that some NWSL teams will only lose a few key players this summer and will be much better equipped to deal with the absences.
Orlando’s reliance on national team players has been an issue over the last few years and it’s unlikely to change now. There are simply too many of them and they are too important given the team’s lack of attacking depth. The success of those players’ national teams could mean a long summer for the Pride.
What is the Pride’s Projected Starting XI in 2019?
This is a difficult question to answer, given that the team played only one home preseason match that was open and the internationals were missing for that game. Skinner’s team isn’t reliant in staying in one particular shape, but it seems he at least prefers to start in a 4-3-3 and let the game dictate where things go from there. There are also strong indications that the Pride will sign some players out of Europe once the season ends overseas and that will change things. Here’s how I see it for now:
Ashlyn Harris; Carson Pickett, Shelina Zadorsky, Alanna Kennedy, Ali Krieger; Dani Weatherholt, Marta, Emily van Egmond; Chioma Ubogagu, Alex Morgan, Rachel Hill.
What are the Expectations for 2019?
Pride fans should probably have tempered expectations for now, but that could change. Certainly with this roster it should compete for a playoff spot most years, but perhaps not in a World Cup year and in particular this World Cup year. Skinner will be learning the league as he goes, the players will be learning his system and trying to nail it down, and they’ll all be trying to do it with pieces moving in and out all season long as a result of a congested international calendar. If the squad can add some quality pieces from Europe — who won’t be gone for most of the summer on national team duty — the Pride could compete for a top four position. However, as the roster currently stands and given the talent that will depart for as much as half the season (or more, depending on “victory tours”), I am setting my personal expectations fairly low for 2019. A finish anywhere from sixth to eighth is not out of the question but if things go well Orlando could maybe climb to about fourth.
Who is the Player to Watch on the Pride, and why?
She may be 33 years old, but the player fans will want to watch is Marta. Despite having a lot of matches and miles on her body, the Brazilian superstar is one of the best to ever play the game and she still does things in every game that bring fans out of their seats. Her footwork, vision, and quality stand out above most other players on the planet and she reads the game so well that she is sometimes two or three passes/movements ahead of her opponent. She still has a hunger and passion for the game and she also still has fun playing it and that shows on her face. Although she can become frustrated in games that aren’t going well, her emotions are part of who she is on the field (and off). She still revels in her team’s goals and wins and it drives her to continue working hard to stay at the top of her game.
How Much Will this Roster Change After the Season Starts?
As mentioned above, the club will have a few international slots available and Skinner said he’s identified some players he’d like to add. However, he is still evaluating what he has and will continue to do so, so things could change. I would expect two or three additions once the European season ends. The club will need more attackers and defenders to not only survive the international departures, but also to thrive during them. With Skinner’s background in England, it’s likely that we could see an arrival from that country, particularly from his old club, Birmingham City.
Who is the Player Fans Will Learn to Love?
I think the fans will learn to “re-love” Camila in 2019. The Brazilian was a dynamic part of the Pride’s run to the 2017 playoffs and Orlando missed her in the postseason meeting with Portland after her major knee injury suffered in the regular season finale that year. She spent most of last year trying to regain her form but never quite pulled it off. She scored a golazo Sunday against the Puerto Rico Sol on Sunday, which could be a sign that her form is returning. Her game seems well suited for Skinner’s fluid style as she likes to freelance on the attack. If she can regain her form — and if Brazil leaves her off their roster this summer — it would be like signing a new star player.

Orlando Pride
Orlando Pride vs. Racing Louisville FC: Final Score 3-1 as Pride Continue Slide Toward NWSL Basement
The Pride lose another lopsided game and are only spared another shutout defeat by Kerry Abello’s late goal.
Unfortunately, if you’re at the bottom of the NWSL table, the remedy is to play the Orlando Pride. The Pride (7-10-2, 23 points) had never lost to Racing Louisville FC (5-11-2, 17 points) at Inter.co Stadium entering tonight, but that streak ended emphatically with a 3-1 home loss.
Audrey McKeen got her first NWSL goal in the 16th minute and Emma Sears added two more to the tally at the 68th and 86th minutes. It could have been worse with a comically bad goal that was overturned after video review. Kerry Abello chalked up a goal for the Pride in the fourth minute of added time in the second half to spoil the shutout.
Louisville has now won three of its last four games.
“Louisville is very aggressive – they like to put pressure on,” Orlando Pride Head Coach Seb Hines said after the game. “We didn’t execute the best we could have – we were close in moments but close isn’t good enough.”
The Pride made four changes to the lineup amid a hefty number of players out on the availability report and were not even able to field a full bench of nine substitutes, dressing two backup goalkeepers. Anna Moorhouse started in goal with Hailie Mace, Rafaelle, Cori Dyke, and Zara Chavoski on the back line. Angelina (with the captain’s armband) and Ally Lemos played central midfield in front of them with Simone Jackson, Jacquie Ovalle, and Nicole Payne attacking from the midfield. Julie Doyle started up top as the attack focal point.
Both teams generated an opportunity in the first 90 seconds, with Jackson almost connecting with Payne before Racing Louisville goalkeeper Jordyn Bloomer snuffed it out. Sears then came down the other side and forced a save from Moorhouse. The ensuing corner generated a bit of chaos in the box before it was cleared, but it was a sign of things to come.
Both teams continued to trade possession without any real dangerous moments. Doyle had a shot blocked in the seventh minute and Louisville had a shot saved in the 11th.
Racing Louisville then managed to hold the attack in Orlando’s defensive end for a while. On the third corner of the set at the 16-minute mark, Katie O’Kane sent a great ball into the center of the six-yard box. McKeen broke loose and got a head on the cross to opening the scoring. Louisville had played most of its previous corners short and caught the Pride a bit off with a normal cross.
Orlando could not generate much of a response in the following minutes. Jackson broke loose down the left side but her cross was not threatening. Meanwhile, Sears hit the crossbar at the 26-minute mark on a ball that seemed to surprise the whole defense.
Orlando was able to generate a corner off an Angelina shot from 25 yards out, but nothing came of it. On the next possession, Doyle got on the end of a Payne through ball but could not create danger from it.
At the hydration break, there were plenty of areas for Hines to correct as not a lot had gone right. Jackson was able to get by her mark multiple times but there wasn’t a lot else.
In the 35th minute, Doyle worked herself free at the top corner of the box and sent a searching cross to the back post. Jackson ran it down but hit the crossbar with a lot of net to shoot at, wasting one of the team’s best chances of the night. The Pride kept up the pressure and finally generated something. Orlando should have scored in the 38th minute, with a great ball sending Doyle into the area, but her shot was a weak one and easily saved, when any pace on the ball at all would have put the Pride on the board.
The Pride thought they’d gotten a break as Mirann Gacioch slid into Doyle as she got her shot off, and referee Muhammad Hassan awarded a penalty. However, as Lemos held the ball at the penalty spot, the video assistant referee sent Hassan to the monitor and he reversed his call.
Nothing much occurred after the incident, although O’Kane picked up a yellow card for a tactical foul for pulling Ovalle back in the first minute of stoppage time. Neither team created any threats in the added time and the half ended without further excitement.
The Pride led in possession (54%-46%), while Racing Louisville held the advantage in shots (9-7), shots on target (4-1), and passing accuracy (83%-82%). The teams each won four corners in the opening period.
The second half started even worse, with the Pride hemmed into their defensive end for the first seven minutes. The crossbar continued to get hammered as Lauren Milliet put one off it from the top of the box. After that, Orlando finally got out of its end and Jackson’s shot was deflected by Gacioch near the right post and had to be parried away by Bloomer.
The Pride used their first substitution window to replace Jackson and Payne with Summer Yates and Solai Washington at the 55-minute mark.Jackson had done well to get into some good areas but there was no final product from the young forward.
Racing Louisville responded with its own subs in the 62nd minute as Ella Hase replaced Quincy McMahon and Maja Lardner replaced Kayla Fischer. The game had settled into a sloppy back-and-forth without either team generating any danger.
Doyle then sat down in the 65th minute after a tangle and was replaced by Abello. Coming out of the restart, Louisville again picked up the pressure and, off a Mace turnover, Sears dribbled down the right side, easily stepped inside of Rafaelle, and blasted a shot from a tight angle past Moorhouse and into the inside netting at the back post for the game’s second goal in the 68th minute.
Three minutes later, Racing Louisville made changes by putting Rachel Hill and Sarah Weber in for Makenna Morris and McKeen. The Pride used their final substitutes to pull Mace and Angelina for Zoe Matthews and Luana.
In the 78th minute, Washington was unable to get on the end of a dangerous Yates cross. Louisville immediately responded, as Sears beat Abello down the left and the dribble somehow went right through Moorhouse’s legs, allowing Sears to tap it in. However, Sears was deemed offside on the pass that turned her loose after video review, sparing Orlando its most embarrassing goal of the evening.
The Pride picked up their energy level after that and were able to generate some danger. Bloomer saved Ovalle’s shot at the 84-minute mark, and Matthews put a header off the crossbar right afterwards.
Unfortunately, on Louisville’s response, Sears broke loose down the right, easily blew past the much slower Rafaelle, and put another goal past an ineffective Moorhouse in the 86th minute.
With 10 minutes added to the end of the game, the Pride showed some life, though it was too late to change the outcome. After a couple of aborted attacks, Abello took a long dribble off a blocked cross and smashed a goal into the corner in the fourth added minute. That kept Louisville from getting its first clean sheet of the season.
Orlando kept up the pressure and Yates should have added a second goal for the Pride off a saved shot from Washington in the eighth added minute, but it skipped just inches wide of the right post. Racing Louisville put in one more substitute by pulling O’Kane for Avery Ciorbu. The Pride weren’t able to generate anything in the last 90 seconds and the game ended without any further attacks.
The Pride finished the game with the lead in possession (52%-48%), with Racing Louisville ahead in shots (20-18), shots on target (7-6), passing accuracy (78%-77%), and corners (9-8).
“I’m really proud of our fight in the last 20 minutes, but we have to do that from the first,” Abello said. “We played into their hands and let Louisville play their game. They’re good at set pieces – they’re all six feet tall.”
The Pride travel the next two weekends to Portland and Washington, D.C., before returning home on Aug. 29 against Utah. All three teams are above the Pride in the NWSL table.

Orlando Pride vs. Racing Louisville FC: Preview, How to Watch, TV Info, Live Stream, Lineups, Match Thread, and More
The Pride return home looking to get back in the win column against Racing Louisville.
Welcome to your match preview and live thread as the Orlando Pride (7-9-2, 23 points) face Racing Louisville FC (4-11-2, 14 points) at home (7 p.m., NWSL+). This is the second and final time these two teams will meet during the 2026 NWSL regular season.
Here’s everything you need to know about tonight’s game.
History
This is the fifth season of existence for Racing Louisville, and the Pride have played the Kentucky-based side 14 times in that span, with Orlando going 3-5-4 in NWSL games and 3-5-6 in all competitions (0-0-1 in both the NWSL Challenge Cup and the NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup). The Pride are undefeated at home against Louisville with a 3-0-3 record in league play and a 3-0-4 record in all competitions.
The most recent meeting between the two teams occurred on April 24 in Louisville. Lauren Milliet gave the hosts the lead in the 19th minute before Barbra Banda equalized just before halftime. The hosts separated themselves early in the second half with goals by Sarah Weber and a second by Milliet, both within five minutes of the restart. Banda scored a second in the dying minutes, but it wasn’t enough as the Pride fell 3-2.
The first meeting in 2025 took place June 20 in Louisville. Arin Wright gave the hosts the lead at the half-hour mark and former Pride midfielder Taylor Flint doubled the advantage in the second half as the Pride fell 2-0 to end the first half of the season. On Aug. 9, 2025, in Orlando, Marisa DiGrande scored against her old team just before halftime to give Louisville the halftime lead. It looked like the visitors would claim all three points until an Ary Borges own goal in second-half stoppage time resulted in a 1-1 draw.
The teams first met in 2024 on March 16 in Louisville. The season opener for both teams looked like it would be a long day for Orlando, as Elexa Bahr and Uchenna Kanu gave the hosts a 2-0 lead inside 20 minutes. The Pride got on the board with an own goal by Elli Pikkujämsä, but the task was made more difficult when Kylie Strom received her second yellow card in the second half. However, Amanda Allen and Summer Yates combined on a late goal by Yates, as the Pride pulled out an unlikely 2-2 draw.
On May 5, 2024, in Orlando, an Emily Sams cross in the 17th minute found Banda’s head at the back post, and she nodded home the game’s only goal in a 1-0 Pride win. On Aug. 1, 2024, in the Summer Cup, Evelina Duljan scored her lone Pride goal to give the Pride the lead. However, Reilyn Turner equalized, sending the game into penalties. The Pride took the early shootout lead when Jaelin Howell missed, but saves by Jordyn Bloomer on Morgan Gautrat and Ally Watt saw Louisville take the extra point.
The first meeting of 2023 was held on May 6 at Exploria Stadium. Messiah Bright gave the Pride an early lead, and the hosts held on for 69 minutes for the 1-0 win. The second meeting that season took place on Oct. 6 in Louisville. The Pride got off to a great start with goals by Marta from the spot early and an excellent individual effort by Kerry Abello to make it 2-0. However, Bright took Savannah DeMelo down in the box just before halftime and Nadia Nadim converted the penalty. A five-minute swing with a goal by Kristen Davis and an own goal by Pride goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse resulted in the Pride losing the critical game 3-2.
The first meeting between the two teams in 2022 took place Sept. 16 in Louisville. Racing struck first when Nadim was left open in front of goal for a tap-in. The hosts doubled their lead on a great strike by DeMelo from outside the box, and the Pride fell 2-0.
Back in 2022, the first meeting was in a unique setting, taking place at Daytona International Speedway on July 3. The game was a part of the 2022 Daytona SoccerFest and was the first time a professional soccer game was played at a racetrack. Emina Ekic gave Louisville a halftime lead and DeMelo doubled the lead shortly after the break. However, the Pride fought back with goals by Strom and Darian Jenkins, pulling out a 2-2 draw.
The first year the two teams met was in 2021 during the NWSL Challenge Cup in Louisville. CeCe Kizer gave the hosts the lead early, but Taylor Kornieck equalized just before halftime. It looked like the Pride would win when Abi Kim scored late, but Brooke Hendrix equalized in second-half injury time and the teams drew 2-2.
The teams played three times in the 2021 regular season, with the first meeting coming on July 9 in Orlando. Ebony Salmon gave Louisville the lead, but Sydney Leroux scored to force a 1-1 draw with a goal in second-half injury time. The second meeting was held Sept. 11 in Orlando. The Pride took a 2-0 lead into the break with goals by Leroux and Marta. Kizer got one back, but Alex Morgan’s conversion sealed three points for the Pride.
The final meeting of 2021 came in the penultimate game of the year for both teams. The Pride needed a win to keep their playoff hopes alive and they got off to a good start when Jodie Taylor scored in the third minute. However, the game slipped away as Salmon and Katie McClure scored on either side of halftime and Yuki Nagasato made the final 3-1.
Overview
The Pride have struggled since the FIFA World Cup break. They’ve lost four of the last six games and have failed to score in each of those losses. The two wins were a 3-0 win over the Kansas City Current and a slim 1-0 victory over Chicago Stars FC.
The most recent game against the North Carolina Courage saw the Pride lose 5-0, their worst loss since Seb Hines’ first game as interim head coach on June 19, 2022. It was arguably the worst performance of the season, with multiple goals coming from defensive mistakes and the attack unable to create any clear-cut chances.
The play of the back line was the most surprising thing about the loss in North Carolina. While the team has struggled to score goals, the defense has been excellent in recent games. Two of the four losses have been 1-0 and the two wins were clean sheets.
The attacking problems are largely due to the absence of Banda and the lack of a secondary scorer on the team or an identity of how to play without her. The star striker leads the league with 12 goals this year, but she saw few minutes as she worked her way back to full fitness. Just before she was able to play significant minutes, she departed to represent Zambia in the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
The impact of the 5-0 loss in North Carolina is on display in the NWSL standings. The Pride are tied on points with Angel City FC and Seattle Reign FC for the eighth and final playoff position. But their -4 goal difference is three behind Seattle and 11 behind Angel City. The poor goal difference is something that could haunt the team as the Pride look to qualify for the playoffs for the third consecutive year.
The Pride desperately need wins and they should be able to claim three points against tonight’s opponent. Racing Louisville sits in 15th in the 16-team league. Tonight’s visitors have just 14 points from 17 games and a -13 goal difference. Their 21 goals are fifth-most in the league and their 34 goals conceded are the most in the league.
Similar to the Pride, Louisville has had a tough restart to the season. The Kentucky-based side suffered three crushing losses, including a 4-0 loss to the Portland Thorns, a 2-0 loss to Bay FC, and a 5-1 loss to the Current. However, while the Pride are looking to rebound from a devastating performance, Louisville is coming off a 2-1 win over Chicago.
Louisville is led in the attack by Kayla Fischer with four goals, followed by Weber and Flint with three goals each. Emma Sears, Katie O’Kane, Milliet, and Maja Lardner are the other players with multiple goals this year, recording two each. Sears, Fischer, and O’Kane also lead the team in assists with four, three, and two, respectively.
The assumption was that Louisville would improve on its defensive performance last season, which was good enough to claim seventh in the league. But, despite reutrning regular starters like Ellie Jean, Arin Wright, and Bloomer, Racing has been worse this season.
“They’re very direct. They use their goalkeeper. She’s part of their buildup play,” Hines said ahead of tonight’s game. “They’ve got some aerial threats and they’re going to make it a physical game. We always talk about how there’s no excuses, no matter how tall you are or how short you are. It’s the fight in the beast and stuff. And so we have to stand up to that challenge. We’ve got to make sure we’re challenging the first, winning the second, getting the ball down, play through their press, and create opportunities to score.”
The Pride are missing several players tonight, including Hannah Anderson (lower leg), Marta (head), Haley McCutcheon (suspension), Kylie Nadaner (maternity leave), Oihane (lower leg), Viviana Villacorta (knee), and Banda (international duty). Louisville will be without DeMelo (illness), DiGrande (maternity leave), Taylor Flint (thigh), Macey Hodge (arm), Natalia Mitchell (knee), and Taylor White (knee).

Orlando Pride
SkoPurp Soccer Episode 132: North Carolina Rewind, Louisville Preview, and More
The Pride hit a new low for 2026 and must regroup for the upcoming Racing Louisville match.
Just when you think the Orlando Pride have bottomed out and things might start to turn around, the team shows you there’s a new, lower level possible. The Pride played an apathetic and inept brand of soccer on the road against a struggling North Carolina Courage team, which put Orlando on full blast. The 5-0 loss could have been even worse, and the attack rarely created much threat for the Courage back line to deal with. If this is what life is like without Barbra Banda, the Pride are literally a one-player team, and that’s simply not good enough.
We look back at a lopsided loss for as long as we could bear it, checked our score predictions, deferred our selections for Player of the Match to any fan who sat through the entire game, and pondered what the club’s general manager is doing, whether the players have tuned out Head Coach Seb Hines, and what exactly the plan is to fix the mess that the 2024 double winners have quickly become.
This week’s mailbagbox is understandably bitter and cynical, although we did get to reminisce about shopping for school supplies and Trapper Keepers. Remember, you can ask us anything by hitting us up on Twitter at either @TheManeLand or @SkoPurpSoccer and using the hashtag #AskSkoPurp. You can use that same hashtag and hit @TheManeLand.bsky.social up on Bluesky. Or you can visit our show page, scroll down, and fill out the handy form. We’d also appreciate any ratings or reviews you can leave wherever you get your podcasts, and if you do that on Apple Podcasts, we’ll find them easily and read them on the show.
Finally, we looked ahead to Friday’s home game against Racing Louisville. Both of your hosts will be in the stadium as fans for that one (our first time seeing a match together), and we’re curious whether Orlando will show some…err…pride…after such a dreadful showing at North Carolina. We look at the series history, the teams’ relative positions in the standings, and who has been creating danger for Louisville. Then we provide our key matchups and score predictions.
