North Carolina Courage Vs Orlando Pride: Same XI Starts at Inter&Co Stadium

north carolina courage vs orlando pride starts tonight at Inter&Co Stadium, and Orlando is sending out the same starting lineup it used last weekend against Washington. The match kicks off at 8 p.m. ET on Prime Video, with the Pride trying to keep their rhythm in a quick turnaround before a two-week road stretch.

Orlando Pride XI

Anna Moorhouse starts in goal behind Hailie Mace, Cori Dyke, Rafaelle, and Oihane. The midfield and front line stay unchanged too, with Ally Lemos, Angelina, Haley McCutcheon, Summer Yates, Solai Washington, and Barbra Banda forming the rest of the 11.

That continuity leaves Orlando with the same opening group from last weekend’s game against Washington, a rare clean repeat in a league where lineups often shift from week to week. McKinley Crone moves onto the bench in place of Cara Martin, while Hannah Anderson is out with an illness.

Bench Change For Crone

Orlando’s substitutes are Crone, Marta, Seven Castain, Simone Jackson, Reagan Raabe, Luana, Nicole Payne, and Julie Doyle. The bench gives the Pride eight options if the match turns tight, and Marta remains available as one of the team’s most experienced attacking reserves.

The lineup note is the main wrinkle before kickoff. The starting group is unchanged, but the bench is not, and that means Orlando can keep the same first-choice shape while adjusting behind it if the game demands a change.

Road Stretch Ahead

After tonight, the Pride head on the road for the next two weeks. That puts extra weight on this home date, because Orlando leaves Inter&Co Stadium with the same 11 that handled Washington last weekend and a shorter bench than before after Anderson’s illness and the Crone-for-Martin switch.
