Lemos has recorded three assists for the Orlando Pride this season. She also scored the first NWSL goal of her career in Orlando’s Sept. 19 match against the Portland Thorns.
The midfielder was the No. 9 overall pick in the 2024 NWSL Draft. Her selection for the Skills Challenge gives the Orlando Pride representation in an individual competition during the league’s Championship Week celebrations.

Orlando is scheduled to host its final 2026 regular-season home match at Inter.co Stadium on Oct. 25. That match is set for a 3 p.m. ET kickoff and also will be covered by CBS Sports Network.
FSB Take
Lemos enters the 2026 NWSL Skills Challenge after appearing in every Orlando Pride match this season and making 24 starts in midfield. Her selection adds an individual event to a season that includes three assists and her first career NWSL goal.
