The Debutantes
Five members of the Orlando Pride made their NWSL debuts this past weekend in Carrie Lawrence, Courtney Petersen, Jordyn Listro, Deneisha Blackwood and Chelsee Washington. Lawrence and Petersen had an impressive debut, each starting on the backline to contribute to the clean sheet for the Pride, while Listro earned the start and went for 87 minutes before being subbed out for Washington. Blackwood entered the match in the 64th minute for forward Abby Elinsky to log her first professional minutes.
Keep it Clean
The Pride registered a clean sheet in their first outing of 2020 after posting a shutout just once throughout the 2019 season.
