Got a couple of great panels coming up with both athletes and thought leaders including the Courage's own Jaedyn Shaw and Francie Gottsegen.

I'll try and post some quotes throughout.

Kaleigh Kurtz had high praise for Ashley Sanchez's defensive work in the final 1/3 after Saturday's match. It's a less-discussed portion of her game, but Sanchez was T-5th in possession won in the final 1/3 last season.

Ryan Williams vs. KC:

Goals: 1 (First as a pro)

Courage shifted to a 3-4-3 for the match and Williams made the most of getting pushed further up the field.

Shout-out to @keepernotes.bsky.social for sending us some Carolina Courage history.

@nccourage.com goalkeeper Casey Murphy led all NWSL keepers with 6 saves in the opening weekend.

An impressive start to the season for the Courage No. 1, especially given the rain-soaked conditions.

All four of the Attacking Third crew predict @nccourage.com's Jaedyn Shaw to get the start for the USWNT against Colombia tonight.

Lots of good discussion about Shaw's role in that midfield, especially in terms of combining in a fluid attacking shape 👀
