The Story:
- An appearance against the Dash from defender Kylie Nadaner will serve as her 100th appearance for the Pride across all competitions. Nadaner will be just the second Pride player to achieve 100 appearances in Orlando history.
- Saturday’s showdown against the Houston Dash will see the Pride back in action for the first time following the international break. The match will be the lone home contest in the month of June before they hit the road for a two-game road trip starting with Bay FC next Friday.
- The Pride are unbeaten in its last three matchups with Houston, sporting a +4 goal-differential while allowing just one goal across the three matches. Orlando has not lost at home to the Dash since August of 2019, remaining unbeaten in the last 4 contests at Inter&Co Stadium.
Quote of the Week:
“Obviously it’s fantastic to be back at home and play in front of our fans. Houston, they’re a team that has gone under a lot of changes the last year. They’ve got a new coach in Fabrice [Gautrat], so he’s implementing his ideas. They’re definitely a different team from what they were last year. A team with a little bit more structure and a more possession-based team. But, as you know, in this league there is no easy game, so we have to prepare correctly for them."
- Assistant Coach Giles Barnes
