“We just weren’t ourselves today. Every second ball, North Carolina was there. They pressed effectively and we didn’t have that sharpness, and it’s becoming a theme away from home. That was the message after the game,” Orlando coach Seb Hines said.
“We can’t only rely on our home form. So again, it’s just going back to the drawing board, see where we can improve.”
The Pride will return home to Exploria Stadium to take on the Kansas City Current on June 24.
