The Story:
The Pride remain just one of three unbeaten teams in the NWSL, picking up the Club’s first win of the regular season on the road against the Utah Royals last week.
The Pride have lost only two of their last 11 regular-season home matches (7-2-2) dating back to the beginning of May 2023, including going unbeaten in the last four matches (2-0-2), with both draws coming this season.
Friday could mark the debut of Zambian international Barbra Banda. She joined the Pride earlier this past week for the first time and is available for selection.
Quote of the Week:
“I think you said it there, the momentum is key. I think what we’ve shown in the last four games is different sides who has you know, different scenarios, different situations that the game has presented. Going back to that last game, creating some good opportunities finally taking one and putting it in the back of the net and having the desire to keep the ball out of the net to get well in and get three points and keeping up that momentum bringing it back home against a good San Diego team, obviously shield winners from last year. It’s going to be a tough ask for the players, but they are fully prepared and know what the task is and what they need to do to win the game.”
– Head Coach Seb Hines
