Overview
- Orlando beat the Houston Dash 2-1 with Luana converting a penalty and rookie Solai Washington scoring her first NWSL goal.
- Seattle Reign’s 3-1 win produced the points combination that made Orlando’s playoff qualification mathematically impossible.
- The Pride played the Houston match without star forward Barbra Banda because she could not return from Uganda due to Ebola-related travel restrictions.
- Orlando is led by interim coach Yolanda Thomas after Seb Hines was fired midseason, and Thomas has a 3-2-1 record since taking over.
- Although eliminated, Orlando still has two regular-season matches against NJ/NY Gotham FC and Seattle where it can affect other teams’ seeding.
