The Pride head to Yurcak Field on the campus of Rutgers University for the third time in team history. Last year, in their lone visit to Sky Blue, the Pride pulled ahead on an Alex Morgan goal. However, Sam Kerr equalized in the 80th minute to share the points.
A month and one day ago, the Pride fell 2-1 to the New Jersey-based team in a similar fashion, with a late Maya Hayes goal for the 2-1 nil. Rutgers is also the alma mater of the Pride’s 2016 Golden Boot winner, Kristen Edmonds, who played for the Scarlett Knights from 2005-08.
