The 2024 NWSL Shield-winning Orlando Pride was a defensive juggernaut this season, and one of the squad's key contributors joined the show before taking on Chicago Red Stars in the Quarter-finals.

In this episode, Cori Dyke drops by to chat with us about her excellent rookie year, the culture at the club that enabled such a wildly successful season, how her time at Penn State prepared her for the pros, and much, much more.

Cori kicked it with us for about 20 minutes, and she handled the rapid-fire questions like a seasoned vet. Many thanks to her and the Orlando Pride for making the time before the start of the playoffs.
