After Mother Nature put an end to things last night, the North Carolina Courage and Orlando Pride picked things back up, starting in the 22nd minute, this morning. The Pride needed at least a point from the game after last night’s result in other NWSL matches, but turnovers and defensive mistakes handed the home team a 3-0 victory.
The Pride (8-8-6, 30 points) have fallen to fifth place in the NWSL standings and need to win out, plus need help, to make it into the final four. The Courage (16-1-5, 53 points) were honored as the NWSL Shield winners at the conclusion of the match.
