This is my 4th season coming to Courage matches and I remember year one we drew 7k against Portland and I thought “that was rad I wish we could get that many people every match” Yesterday I looked around at 7k and thought “huh little light tonight” And that’s a very cool progression

g+ GameFlow: NWSL Regular Season North Carolina Courage v Seattle Reign on July 04, 2026. #NCvRGN ⚽️🤖

It’s a good time to be Ashley Sanchez. She’s got nine goals on the season … and just got engaged.

We believe one of the biggest July crowds in @nccourage.com history. Given the Fourth of July holiday and heat index of over 100 degrees, that’s pretty good.

There it is!! SupermeoWWWW!

Appreciate the courage matching goals to the number of digits of the temp

We agree. #CTID

Ashley Sanchez now has nine goals this year, two off of Barbra Banda's pace for the NWSL Golden Boot. Career year after shifting to a wider role.

FOUR IN A ROWWWW!

PLAY THE SONG AND CUE THE W CAT!

This ⬇️

Sully!!

Sanchez is off but we can still hear fireworks.

I hear the streets are saying SANCHEZ

Shinny sends it to Sanchez for her second brace this season 🤩

Who’s excited to see Thompson and Parkinson play together?

Not a bad ball in from Thompson. Wow, take a month off and players have time to recover from their injuries!

You can see Thompson’s potential. And she’s relentless on the ball.

We think we’d get a favorable ruling from them.

Almost 4-1 but Feli was off the post. And then a dangerous corner kick.

ASHLEY MF'N SANCHEZ

Someone idk who said that NCC would need Sanchez on rocket fuel to replace Manaka’s loss and I think Sanchez saw that

A month ago.

Courage Cooking

AAAAAAAANOTHER BRACE FOR AAAAAAASH

What a great ball in from Shinomi. NWSL assist of the week nomination.

SANCHEZ BRACE!!!

RILEY FROM THE SPOT RILEY FROM THE SPOT RILEY FROM THE SPOT RILEY FROM THE SPOT RILEY FROM THE SPOT

Her first of the year!!

JACKSON!!!!

Wow VAR goes our way!!

OK we’re putting our faith in VAR.

Sheridan:

Some rustiness from the break leading to that first Reign goal. Maycee being back is a good thing.

Ijeh and Sanchez are back, Bell is rusty but she had a great last 20 minutes of the half. Look for Ryan Williams to get involved in the second half!

Maybe the answer in North Carolina is just Ashley Sanchez finding yet another level.

First-half thoughts, without mentioning the heat?

Followed by a great clear from Williams.

SHERIDAN AGAIN WOW!!!

SHERIDAN WOW!!!

Amazing couple of moves and ball to the box from Sanchez. Wow.

It's a Party in the USA 🎉

ASHLEY SANCHEZ STAYS RED HOT! 🔥 Her 8th goal this season 💥

Courage with a nice recognition of our former captain Denise O’Sullivan.

AAAAAAAAAASHLEY SANCHEZ IS SOOOOO BACK

Nice ball from Ijeh and a fortunate bounce off a Reign player to even the match.

SANCHEZ!!!!

Crap.

A lot of, uh, unforced errors so far in this game. Understandable, given the break.

Back from break. Ready to GO ▶️ 📺 Tune in on NWSL+
