ORLANDO, Fla. — Summer Yates scored in the 26th minute, and the Orlando Pride held off the San Diego Wave 1-0 in the National Women’s Soccer League on Friday night.

"I felt that we dominated from start to finish," Coach Seb Hines said. "San Diego had a lot of passes around the back, but it’s fine for us because it opens the door for us to be lethal in transition. It would have been nice to get a couple more goals, but it wasn’t meant to be. We will continue to work in that area, so we are not just one - nil toward the end of the game.”

The Wave were scrambling for the equalizer in the 81st minute when Alex Morgan, who previously played for the Pride, went down with what appeared to be a right leg injury. The U.S. national team forward was helped up and limped away, wincing with each step. She did not return.

The Pride (2-0-3) are one of three undefeated teams in the league. They opened with three consecutive draws before a 1-0 victory last weekend at Utah.

The Wave (1-2-1) had not lost since their season opener.

Zambian forward Barbra Banda came in off the bench, making her debut for the Pride. Banda, acquired last month for a club-record transfer fee, joined the team this past week after helping Zambia qualify for the Paris Olympics.

The game was played amid reports that the Wave had acquired Maria Sanchez from the Houston Dash, a move the club had yet to announce. The NWSL trade window closed at 11:59 p.m. EDT on Friday.
