2025 Orlando Pride Season in Review: Cosette Morché

The Orlando Pride signed goalkeeper Cosette Morché on Aug. 6 to a multi-year contract through the 2027 season with a mutual option year for 2028. Morché had spent the previous season with Fort Lauderdale United FC in the USL Super League, but her signing was necessary as a third goalkeeper after Kat Asman was loaned to Lexington FC in the USL Super League on July 2. It was a surprisingly long contract for the former Seattle Reign goalkeeper, considering Asman is under contract with the Pride through 2026.

The Texas A&M product appeared only a couple of times with the Pride in Concacaf W Champions Cup competition in her first year in Orlando.

Let’s look back at Morché’s first season in the City Beautiful.

Statistical Breakdown

Morché did not appear in an NWSL regular-season match or a playoff game. She made her Pride debut on Sept. 16 in Orlando’s 5-0 win at Chorrillo FC, as the Pride won their first game on foreign soil. Morché started two matches in the Concacaf W Champions Cup, going the full 90 in both for 180 total minutes and backstopping the club to a 1-0-1 record in her two starts in the competition. The native of Lawrenceville, GA allowed one goal across the two contests for a stellar 0.50 goals-against average. She faced a total of 27 shots from her opponents with eight of those on target. Morché made seven saves on those eight shots on frame, giving her a save percentage of 87.5%. She passed at a solid 90% rate on 70 attempts but did not attempt a long ball. in her two matches.

Best Game

It would be easy to take her lone win and shutout, but the truth is Morché had a lot more to do in the 1-1 draw against Pachuca on Oct. 15, facing twice as many shots (18) as she faced against Chorrillo (9) and…hahaha, I’m just kidding, I’m going with the shutout. Morché made four of her seven saves on the season in that match, and I felt she could have done a bit better on the shot that got past her against Pachuca — a goal that ultimately knocked the Pride out of the Concacaf W Champions Cup.

Against Chorrillo, Morché stopped all four shots on target that she faced on nine total attempts by the hosts. It was also a road match in international competition, which is a difficult environment for anyone making their first start for their club. She completed 32 of her 35 passes (91%) that night in Panama to effectively distribute the ball as well. It was a small sample size, so I’ve got to go with the shutout and the game with more saves and a better passing accuracy.

2025 Final Grade

Morché fell well short of the required 400 minutes across all competitions to qualify for a season grade after her first season in Orlando. Therefore, The Mane Land staff has no choice but to give an incomplete grade for the 2025 season.

2026 Outlook

With a contract through 2027, Morché doesn’t figure to be going anywhere unless a transfer is arranged, she is sent out on loan, or the player and club mutually agree to terminate the contract. The Pride have Morché, Asman, McKinley Crone, and Anna Moorhouse all under contract in 2026, which more or less settles the goalkeeper situation. It appears the club is happy with Moorhouse as the starter and Crone as the primary backup, although Morché may get a chance to win the backup job in camp. Barring injuries, Morché won’t likely see the pitch much in 2026 unless she is loaned out, but she’ll provide depth at a critical position.
