The North Carolina Courage earned a 1-0 victory over Olympique Lyonnais Women to claim the first-ever ICC Women’s Tournament title. Both teams were undermanned, but that didn’t stop the final from feeling like a championship match. North Carolina was missing six of their players while Lyon, who is still in preseason, was missing a handful of their own. The Courage were hardly dominant in the match, with Lyon winning 71% of the possession and out-shooting North Carolina 23-7. Fortunately, the Courage won in the only category that mattered: balls that crossed the goal line. They won that category one goal to nil.
