With the pressure of playoffs gone, Sky Blue was able to relax, have fun and play arguably their best soccer of the season.
Sky Blue FC (7-7-5, 26 points) closed out its home-and-home series against the Orlando Pride (6-12-1, 19 points) with a 2-1 win on the road.
After being eliminated from this year’s playoff race on Wednesday night, Sky Blue was able to relax and just play soccer. That lack of pressure combined with the return of Kelley O’Hara—and in an attacking position no less—resulted in some of the best soccer Sky Blue has played all season.
