What a week it was for the North Carolina Courage. The top club in the NWSL went into the week with two big matchups against the Portland Thorns and the Houston Dash.
It began on Wednesday with a trip to Portland where the defending NWSL champions were unable to hold off the Courage, losing 4-1 in what turned out to be not a very close match.
But on Saturday, the Dash stopped the Courage’s three-match win streak, holding them to only a point. It was a big result for the Dash who continue to pick up points as they look to go into the top half of the table.
