After scoring six goals on the road against the Portland Thorns, the defending champions snuck six into the net once again, this time in a 6-1 victory over the Orlando Pride. The North Carolina Courage are really beginning to strut their stuff.
The record-setting crowd of 9,563 in North Carolina didn’t have to wait long for the goal-scoring to start. In just the sixth minute, forward Lynn Williams got the hosts off and running from a Kristen Hamilton assist. An own-goal from Orlando’s Kristen Edmonds and a Jessica McDonald strike made it 3-0 heading into half-time, with the game all but over.
