kickoff and lineups coming up in just a few it's the North Carolina courage hosting the Seattle rain here in week six action yet two changes from the team beaten by Angel City branna Pino comes in for monaka up front they've been alternating since day one in that number nine for four changes lots of change Phoebe mcclanan comes at left back comes in for left back for Lily Woodham Quinn they start for fun yach something that coach Harvey mentioned to us she felt like just fish lock was the best player on this team in that two to1 loss against the Chicago Red stars at home it was one where Mal Pew scored a goal going coast to coast and one thing that coach hary has said about the team in their losses she feels like it's happened in a couple of different ways North Carolina working it out of their defensive third they are very committed to keeping the ball here they find space on the right side streaking forward Williams eventually dispossessed gets it right back Williams Crossing in Far post there space header [Music] saved just haven't been quite as successful as they would have liked throughout the season another ball over the top St George running it down has some space St George into the area denied ball out of play for a corner but now it's O rain or rather Seattle rain who are trying to put that High Press they got good turn over ball shot on goal Saved By Murphy and 30 plus assists player who can really get forward from that outside back roll just hasn't quite done it this season as as this team has struggled to create those quality chances and then convert on them intercepted speaking of connection not quite on ball out wide Sanchez with tons of space Sanchez plays it across and it's flicked [Applause] in three goals in three matches for Tyler Lucy and North Carolina take a one- nil lead on their home field that's a good finish from Tyler Lucy not easy it was coming up quite High she manages to angle it past the goalkeeper Laurel Ivory and that's a good buildup down that left hand side from Ashley s lovely ball in and we said a minute ago if you if you keep creating chances for Tyler Lucy the way her luck is going and her skill is going she will take one of them well the very next chance it's exactly what happens well done Ashley sanchez1 the XG right now for Seattle total big chances or big goal scoring type of chances zero they have taken two shots both of them on target but neither real threatening Murphy now with the ball in her hands speaking of the backline consistency one of the most consistent and well-rounded goalkeepers according to this coaching staff head coach Sean nahas recently tweeted that he feels like Murphy doesn't get enough love enough credit for just how good she is here she might be tested G fire saved and the gain away at Chicago .95 so they haven't really got above one in any of the last four games Sanchez on the counter slots it through shot saved big stop by Laurel Ivory and has played every minute this season as [Music] well shot from King Ping's off the post almost Deja Vu wow that is such a wonderful strike then so unlucky not to hit the back of the net and you're right that last week was her first goal from outside the box I think she might have a taste for it now I mean just brilliant strike yeah why not you just put one win put one in that way the Irish International over 100 cup caps for her country really does do a great job in the middle of the pitch for the courage Sven named to the nwsl second 11 in 2023 Sanchez little bit of room to work clever ball St George chips it in header just High give her the ball and let's see what she can do for Seattle haral Flores head referee Blows the Whistle second half officially underway here from carry North Carolina what they can't afford is go down 2N and that nearly happened just before halftime Pinter with a header and Pinter also with a chance that ivory made a very good save from so they've got to tighten up a little bit more at the back to Seattle Emme adamis a player who would be very exciting to see nice turnover high up the field G trying to run on well read King sends it across headed towards go just WI cutting back fish lock cheeky move gets it back G fires touched away Casey Murphy says [Applause] no corner kick sent in deep into the box second header third header just can't get it [Applause] in assistant coach Zachary did mention there were a lot of positives to take away away and this is a club that is very focused on development focused on the process they don't want to overdo it in terms of the results Seattle nice flick through fish lock couldn't get it under control another chance coming here but Saved By Murphy Lucy hamper though by Brown here on this near side G [Applause] dispossessed Lucy lays it off for Picket Sanchez fires little slow roller into the hands of ivory that has not lost yet this season three wins three draws there you head on the road to somewhere with some warm temperatures they got Gotham after that that's not going to be easy and then Casey current good luck with that match Hopkins inside the area slots it back but it's missed Second Chance saved by Ivory it's a bad Miss there from monaka six yds out at home side here comes Seattle Fish lock beautifully played ball Wier crosses it in on the ground and it's saved Seattle looking for a late equalizer a moment of Brilliance here in the final moments at wake Med Soccer Park Crossing in Bodies In The Box Boler header saved Casey Murphy a brick wall between the pipes another reason the BS are such a dangerous player getting on the end of that cross just can't generate the power but the really good chance was a minute or two ago and that one was heading into goals until the goal goal keeper came up with a great [Applause] save that'll do it the final whistle sounds and the North Carolina courage are able to clinch the 1-nil victory despite a late push from Seattle rain FC 1 nil the final in
