FT | 1-1

Probably a deserved result. North Carolina were desperate and put in their best performance in weeks while the Spirit made a lot of changes with rest, recovery, and a big midweek match in mind. We'll take the point!

The sub of Metayer has shifted Deb into midfield, into a much more natural position.

I agree, but I also do not have the utmost confidence in Kate Wiesner. I know that’s moving goalposts but…
And it was offside anyway

LaNorris Sellers’ Heisman Trophy @socratescousin.bsky.social · 7h

Linnehan movement towards goal from outside the FB is good stuff I know @gingers4hal.bsky.social was talking abt “North Carolina need goal threat from the wings” that’s threat right there

Credit to the Courage for shaking that off. Poor work in the build-out from the Spirit, who walk right into a pressing trap, lose the ball, & then Linnehan gets free to finish.

Even if VAR chalks this off, not gonna be a fun film session reviewing the play for the Spirit.

Rodman cuts in between two defenders in her own half and drives through the middle of the pitch. She lays the ball off to Croix who comes inside and hits a shot that is saved by Murphy!

Great deep pass to Rodman from Tara! Her first time cross was wel struck and had to be played out for a corner.

That corner ultimately resulted in a shot from the top of the box by Rodman that had to be tipped over by Caset Murphy!
