Bay FC NWSL's struggles continued as the team lost 3-1 to Orlando Pride on Friday, with Barbra Banda scoring two goals and adding an assist. The match, which was delayed due to weather, saw Bay FC answer an early goal from the hosts when midfielder Caroline Conti scored her first goal of the season in the 7th minute. However, two goals by Orlando in the first 10 minutes of the second half proved to be the deciders. Bay FC coach Emma Coates expressed disappointment and frustration with the outcome, but remains confident that the team is making progress. The club has lost three straight matches and will look to regroup during the June international break. Bay FC will return to the pitch on July 5, visiting Boston Legacy FC in Providence, Rhode Island. The team's goalkeeper Jordan Silkowitz and defender Aldana Cometti served one-game suspensions after receiving red cards in the previous match. Conti's goal was the first of her career in the run of play and her first in regular season play in 2026. The match was a closely contested one, with both teams generating chances early on. Orlando opened the scoring in just the fourth minute of play, as Banda ran onto a bouncing ball played forward and slotted it in with her first touch. Bay FC thought they had found the net for the lead at the 15-minute mark, but the goal was nullified due to an offside flag. A fast start in the second half resulted in two scores for the Pride, with Banda getting out on the run from a ball played forward by substitute midfielder Summer Yates and scoring her second of the match in the 51st minute. The loss drops Bay FC to 3-6-2 on the season, and the team will look to bounce back in their next match.
