Washington Spirit 1, Orlando Pride 0

Gift Monday capitalized on a second-half error to deliver the Washington Spirit a hard-fought 1-0 road win over previously unbeaten Orlando Pride on Saturday.

Orlando goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse misplayed a clearance in the 63rd minute, allowing Monday to bury her first goal of the season into an open net. It marked the Pride’s first loss of 2024 after opening the year with four straight wins, in which they scored 11 goals.

Despite Orlando’s 20 shot attempts, Spirit goalkeeper Aubrey Kingsbury stood tall with six saves to secure the clean sheet. Both clubs now sit at 4-1-0 (12 points).
