The Orlando Pride had a successful 2021 NWSL Challenge Cup. While the Pride did not advance to the final, they finished third in the East Division and finished their last two matches with clean sheets. More importantly, Orlando improved in a few key areas in the past few weeks.
“I think we improved tactically in our discipline,” said Pride Head Coach Marc Skinner. “We’ve improved our connections with the players that will play together. We’ve connected a better team. We are connecting off the field a little bit better in terms of getting to know each other better, creating a team culture.
