The Chicago Red Stars were dominated Saturday night, losing to the North Carolina Courage by a score of 4 to 0. The Courage picked up three points for the first time in over two months and recorded just their second clean sheet of the season in what was an emphatic win. The Red Stars started the game off on the back foot, and the first goal for the Courage came only ten minutes in. Throughout the entirety of the match, the Courage were dangerous off of corner kicks as a result of Carson Pickett’s excellent set-piece deliveries.
The Courage’s first goal came from Pickett’s whipped ball in, which was then headed away by Diana Ordóñez.
