CARY, N.C. (May 10, 2025) — The North Carolina Courage drew with the Orlando Pride, 1-1, Saturday night in front of a sold out First Horizon Stadium at WakeMed Soccer Park.

The match was the Courage's fourth sellout in club history, with the 9,366 spectators ranking as the club's fourth highest standalone regular season attendance.

Feli Rauch opened the scoring in the 27', pouncing on a rebound from a Manaka Matsukubo's shot. Rauch and Manaka combined on the break to create the chance, springing forward on a pass from Shinomi Koyama, with Rauch initially playing Manaka in one-on-one with Anna Moorhouse.

Orlando equalized late in stoppage time with a corner when Angelina found Prisca Chilufya at the front post for a looping header.

Match Notes:

• The Courage's announced attendance (9,366) ranks as the fourth-highest standalone regular season figure in club history.
