Pride Withdraws From NWSL Tourney After COVID-19 Positives

The Orlando Pride have withdrawn from the upcoming National Women’s Soccer League tournament after six players and four staff members tested positive for COVID-19. The league says another round of testing will take place to confirm the results. But the Pride withdrew because of the number of positive results and the short time before the start of the tournament. The month-long tournament is set to start Saturday in Utah. Orlando was supposed to play its first match Saturday night against the Chicago Red Stars.
