CARY, N.C. (May 1, 2021) - Orlando Pride (1-1-2, 5 points) wrapped up its 2021 NWSL Challenge Cup play on Saturday evening with a scoreless draw against host North Carolina Courage (2-1-1, 7 points) at Sahlen’s Stadium.
The shutout marked the second consecutive for the Pride, whose backline also saw the introduction of Toni Pressley who earned her first start of the 2021 season. Orlando had a handful of chances to get on the scoreboard, including an early set piece take from Taylor Kornieck that ricocheted off of the crossbar.
With the draw, the Pride are now officially out of contention for the Challenge Cup Championship match, which will see the top team in both the East and West division face each other next week.
