It was almost a carbon copy of the Boston Breakers’ previous two games: down by two early, struggling to push out of the midfield and get a shot on goal. Except this time they went down by a third in the first half.
Things started out rough, with NC’s Hamilton bagging their first goal in the 3’, which is slightly better than when they gave up a goal literally in the first minute against the Thorns.
