This weekend, the Orlando Pride will travel to New Jersey to face Sky Blue FC. The New Jersey side has proven to be a strong attacking team so far this season. One of the leaders of that attack is Australian midfielder Samantha Kerr.
“I think Kerr is the key. She’s the key person, and it’s just a question of our center backs making sure that they are really focused and disciplined in their defending job of Sam, making sure she doesn’t run in behind them, to make sure that when she gets the ball we’ve got players around pressuring her to make sure she isn’t running at us, dribbling at us,” Head Coach Tom Sermanni said.
