Roku Channel<\/a><\/p>\nThe Pride have won five of their last seven meetings with the Houston Dash, including each of the last four played in Orlando, marking the club’s longest home winning streak against a single opponent. Orlando went unbeaten in the 2025 season series, earning a 1-0 victory at Inter.co Stadium on June 7 thanks to defender Cori Dyke’s stoppage-time winner before playing to a 1-1 draw in Houston on Oct. 3.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Barbra Banda’s first-half strike against the Utah Royals marked her 13th goal of the 2026 regular season, tying the Orlando Pride single-season record originally set by Marta in 2017 and matched by Banda in 2024. The Zambian international enters Sunday’s match against Houston one goal shy of becoming the club’s all-time single-season scoring leader.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Forward Summer Yates recorded her second assist\u00a0of\u00a0the 2026 campaign on Barbra Banda’s goal against the Utah Royals on Aug. 29. The helper marked the 10th goal contribution of Yates’ NWSL career, bringing her career totals to five goals and five assists.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Quote of the Week:
\u201cI asked the team the other day, \u2018I said…\u00a0We\u2019ve\u00a0had\u00a0a tough\u00a0go;\u00a0we\u2019ve\u00a0had some\u00a0injuries.\u00a0There\u2019s\u00a0no denying that\u00a0we are in a tough spot. But, as much as we are dealing with lots of emotions, the heaviest lift I am going to\u00a0ask\u00a0you to do is dare to dream. If you can lift your eyes and dare to dream that we can get three points this week, then we can do it again next week.\u2019\u201d
