ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando Pride defender Toni Pressley has been diagnosed with breast cancer and began treatment last week, the team announced on Wednesday morning. The 29-year-old underwent surgery on Friday morning at Orlando Health.
“We can’t imagine what Toni is going through,” Pride general manager Erik Ustruck said. “On behalf of everyone at the Club, I would like to extend our unconditional support to Toni, her family and the members of our Orlando Pride family throughout the entirety of the treatment process. Toni’s health and well-being is, of course, our biggest priority. We are happy to be able to provide her with the full backing of the Club, the NWSL and our partners at Orlando Health.
