NC Courage vs Washington Spirit: 2020 NWSL Challenge Cup Preview

The North Carolina Courage are back to the pitch on Wednesday night as they take on the Washington Spirit in their second match of the 2020 NWSL Challenge Cup. Both teams registered 2-1 victories last Saturday with the Courage bringing down Portland Thorns FC and Washington besting the Chicago Red Stars. Expect some lineup changes for the midweek competition as both teams try to rotate players to preserve stamina in the thin Utah air. The Courage and Spirit were the only two teams to win on opening weekend, so this game should decide which team remains at the top of the table.
