Copper Queens’ captain Barbra Banda scored the only goal of the game as Orlando Pride recorded their third straight win.
Banda’s 59th minute strike was enough to give Orlando Pride maximum points at the PayPal Park.
Banda scored with a composed right-footed finish from the left side of the box which deflected off two defenders, guiding the ball into the bottom right corner after a quick set piece, assisted by the brilliant Carson Pickett.
The goal means Banda now moves to eight goals for the season and only Esther Gonzalez (9) has scored more so far in the campaign.
The win which sends Orlando to 25 points two behind log leaders Kansas City Current also means they have beaten Bay FC 3 times so far by a lone goal with Banda involved in all three goals, scoring the winning goals in the last two matches and winning the penalty that was converted by Adrianna in the other one.
Rachel Kundananji put in a full shift for Bay FC while Prisca Chilufya came off the bench to replace Banda and play the last few minutes.
