Tyler Lussi had a goal and an assist as the North Carolina Courage defeated the Portland Thorns 2-0 in the National Women’s Soccer League on Saturday night.
Just five minutes into the match, Ashley Sanchez’s corner kick took one bounce before Lussi slipped a shot into the left corner.
Portland nearly tied it when Morgan Weaver sent a through ball to Sophia Smith, but her shot went inches wide.
In the 35th minute, Lussi took a shot from distance that appeared to be heading wide before Haley Hopkins headed it in from close range.
