Before the break, Carson Pickett had opened the scoring before Jessica McDonald doubled the lead moments later and Hailie Mace grabbed a third goal for NC Courage before the half-time break. After Addo broke her duck, Meredith Speck set up Rylee Baisden to net the fifth before trialist Abby Elinsky completed the rout. The massive victory over the collegiate team saw NC Courage open their build-up to the new NWSL season on a high. Addo will be eager to steer NC Courage to victory when they face off with another collegiate side University of North Carolina on March 6 before a third showdown with Virginia on March 27.
