ORLANDO, Fla. (July 15, 2026) – Orlando Pride (6-7-2, 20 points) dropped a 1-0 result to 2026 expansion side Boston Legacy FC (4-7-4, 16 points) on Wednesday night at Inter&Co Stadium.
The lone goal of the match came from a Barbara Oliveri strike in the 18th minute off a pass from Ella Stevens. The Pride battled and created multiple chances the rest of the night including hitting the post but just couldn’t find the breakthrough.
Julie Doyle came on as a second-half substitute and became the sixth player in Pride history to appear in 100 matches for the Club across all competitions. She originally joined the Pride back in 2022 and her seven regular season goals are tied for the ninth most in Club history and her five regular season assists are tied for seventh most in Orlando history.
Scoring Summary:
18’ Barbara Olivieri (Ella Stevens) – BOS 1, ORL 0
Head Coach Seb Hines:
“Disappointed with the result, obviously. I felt the quick turnaround highs of last Friday beating Kansas [City Current] and then could, we take that momentum into this game? There wasn't a lot of it in the first half. They took their chances really well, and I thought towards the end of the game, we were really trying. We were pushing, the ball wouldn't land for us and it's fine margins in this league. You've got to take your opportunities when they present themselves, and you can't give the opposition even a sniff. Overall disappointment with the result. Never fault the effort of the players, they always give 110 percent, but tonight just wasn't our night.”
Match Notes:
- Checking in as a halftime substitute, Julie Doyle made her 100th career appearance across all competitions for the Pride.
- Angelina made her 100th NWSL appearance across all competitions.
- Head Coach Seb Hines made one change to the starting lineup from the club’s last match against the Kansas City Current, inserting Oihane into the starting XI.
