The Orlando Pride, buoyed by the efforts of Ally Watt and Marta, beat Seattle Reign FC 3-2 at Inter&Co Stadium on Saturday in the teams' regular-season finale.

Watt scored in the ninth minute with a right-footed shot from the right side of the box, assisted by Summer Yates. Kerry Abello added another goal for Orlando (18-6-2) in the 25th minute with a left-footed shot from close range. Marta sealed the Pride's win with a third goal in the 57th minute.

Seattle Reign FC (6-5-15) fought back valiantly but fell short despite goals from Jordyn Huitema and substitute Maddie Mercado. Huitema leveled things up quickly with assistance from Tziarra King following Watt's opening goal. Mercado brought Seattle within one goal in the 84th minute via a header off Veronica Latsko's cross.

Saturday's game marks the end of the Seattle's 2024 season. Orlando, meanwhile, will start the playoffs on Nov. 8. The Pride's opponent is yet to be determined.
