Orlando Pride Eyes Scoring Record as NWSL Season Resumes
The Orlando Pride returns to NWSL action on Friday, July 3, at 10 p.m. ET, facing Angel City FC at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. The match marks the Pride’s first fixture since a 3-1 win over Bay FC on May 29, 2026. Orlando enters the contest on an eight-game scoring streak, leaving the club one match shy of the club record.
How Does the Pride’s Offense Compare to League Trends?
Orlando’s offensive output has established the team as a top contender in the 2026 NWSL season. The Pride has scored in 11 of its first 12 matches—more than any other team in the NWSL. With 18 total goals, Orlando currently holds the third-highest scoring mark in the NWSL. This consistency contrasts with Angel City FC, which is looking to rebound following a 2-1 loss to the North Carolina Courage on May 31, 2026.
What Is the Status of the Pride Following the Break?
Head Coach Seb Hines described the month-long hiatus as a “well-needed break” for his squad. Following a demanding travel stretch that included matches in Boston, Denver, and San Diego, the team utilized the time to reset. “It’s allowed us with the break to reset, feel re-energized, and go after this next period of the season, feeling confident and ready to go and compete,” Hines said. The Pride enters a high-intensity stretch in July, with six matches scheduled, the most they will have in a month this season.
What Happened in the Previous Meeting?
The first encounter between these two teams earlier this season resulted in a 2-1 victory for Orlando. Haley McCutcheon played a pivotal role, scoring a brace that included a game-winning goal in the 90+8 minute. That result ended Angel City’s unbeaten start to the campaign. Both teams will be looking to re-establish momentum as the second half of the regular season begins.
