It was not the bounce back from the 2-0 loss to Portland that we, or the Pride, were looking for on the road Wednesday. Although the first 40 minutes looked like they just might be able to steal a point, maybe even three if they scored first and maintained order, but North Carolina went up a minute before the first half ended. From there, the Pride slowly unraveled and the Courage took every advantage given to them in a comprehensive 5-0 beating.
It’ll be hard not to repeat the same thing over and over during these grades, so I’ll get the obvious out of the way now.
