Prime Video<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\nThe Pride have lost just once in their last six regular-season meetings against North Carolina, earning three wins and two draws. Orlando secured a 1-0 victory over the Courage earlier this season thanks to Barbra Banda\u2019s dramatic 87th-minute\u00a0winner, and\u00a0will now look to secure a season sweep of North Carolina for the first time since 2017.\u00a0
\nWith Barbra Banda away at the Women\u2019s African Cup of Nations, the Pride\u00a0showcased\u00a0their attacking depth against Chicago. Five different Orlando players recorded at least four shots in the match, marking just the fourth occurrence in NWSL history and the first since 2018.\u00a0
\nAnna Moorhouse enters the weekend on the verge of making club history. Her two saves against Chicago brought her level with Ashlyn Harris for the most\u00a0regular-season\u00a0saves in Orlando Pride history with 289.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Quote of the Week:\u00a0
\u201cWe want to continue that momentum that we had on Friday. We had a really good performance and\u00a0was\u00a0really pleased. Obviously would have liked a couple of more goals, especially early on, but we kept going and kept challenging and managed\u00a0to get the goal that we fully deserved. Going into this game against North\u00a0Carolina, it\u00a0is always a tough place to go and play. They will want to bounce back from a\u00a0disappointing\u00a0result against Utah. It\u00a0will be a challenge, every game is a challenge in this league, you\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0take anyone for granted, so we just really need to focus on ourselves, put that performance that we know we\u00a0are capable of doing\u00a0and get those three points.\u201d\u00a0
