SANFORD, Fla. — During the final contest of a three-match week, the Orlando Pride will take on North Carolina Saturday, days after the Courage reclaimed the top spot in the league.
Both teams played Wednesday and had three days to prepare for their matchup.
North Carolina is fresh off a 6-0 road win over the Portland Thorns, a statement victory that moved the Courage back to the top of the National Women’s Soccer League.
For the Pride, who played in Tacoma, Wash., last Saturday and then hosted the Red Stars on Wednesday — the past week has tested the team’s endurance.
