League scoring leader Sanchez has 2 goals in the Courage’s 2-0 win over Angel City
Cary, North Carolina (AP) — Ashley Sanchez scored twice in the North Carolina Courage's 2-0 triumph over Angel City, shattering the single-season goals record in the NWSL. This marked her 15th goal of the season. Sanchez tied Lynn Biyendolo's North Carolina record with her 14th goal in the 41st minute, before scoring the decisive 15th goal in the 78th minute.
Evelyn Ijeh's backheel pass found Sanchez, who outmaneuvered three defenders before scoring. Sanchez also netted two goals in the Courage's 2-1 win against Boston Legacy on Saturday. North Carolina has now won five of their last six games, with a record of 11-3-7. Angel City's loss ended a four-game draw streak (7-6-7). Angel City played to a scoreless tie with Gotham on Sunday.
Maycee Bell, who made her 50th NWSL regular-season appearance, had to be stretchered off with an apparent arm injury in the second half.
