A 49th-minute long-distance goal by Erika Tymrak was the difference as the Orlando Pride (6-5-6, 24 points) beat NJ/NY Gotham FC (5-5-6, 21 points) 1-0 at Red Bull Arena. It was the second win for Becky Burleigh as interim head coach (2-1-2) and was an important win in the playoff race for Orlando.
Ashlyn Harris ended up with the shutout as well as the all-time NWSL career save record in the match as well.
Burleigh made three changes from the team that lost 2-1 to the Washington Spirit last weekend. Phoebe McClernon and Toni Pressley replaced the injured Courtney Petersen (right foot) and Amy Turner (right leg), respectively, while Ali Riley moved from her usual right back position to left back.
