Racing 2 Pride 0 Player Ratings

Racing (finally) got back in the win column in the league and also eliminated the Orlando Pride from playoff contention. The scoreline could have been better or worse, but the performance was encouraging if not a definitive turnaround from the last few matches.

Lund-7: Was excellent when called upon. Still had a nervous touch every once in a while, but walked away with a coveted clean sheet.

Fox-8: Had a near perfect defensive performance. Still could be a little more selfish on offense. The collective defense is so much better when she is available to be that last, speedy barrier between the opponent and the keeper.

Bonner-8: Excellent in her positioning and her recoveries and clearances. Needs a match off from getting head contact though.

Murray-8: Was brave in winning balls in defense. Her positioning relative to Bonner was excellent too.

Milliet-7: Maybe just a hair below the other defenders in her performance, but still really good.

Howell-7: Made some really key tackles and enforced her will on the match.

DeMelo-8: Got on the scoresheet again with another assured long range effort. Looked re-energized after the last couple of tough matches.

Wang-8 (Player of the Match): Was relentless in attack and winning the ball high up the pitch. If Racing is ever to become an effective pressing team, expect her to lead the charge.

Ekic-7: Performed well on both sides of the ball in a rare start. Probably still best effective as a change of pace substitute.

McDonald-8: Made the absolute most out of her touches and the first goal was completely made by her.

Nadim-8: Was the beneficiary of Jess's excellent run and cross, but still had to make the right final run, which she adjusted at the very last moment.
