Chloe Lacasse converted a penalty kick in stoppage time as the visiting Utah Royals defeated North Carolina Courage 4-1 on Saturday.<\/p>\n
In the other National Women’s Soccer League matchup, the Boston Legacy defeated the Kansas City Current 1-0.<\/p>\n
Nuria Labano added two assists for the Royals (9-4-3). In the 6th minute, Kate Del Faba scored a header from a corner kick by Labano for a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n
In the 34th minute, Ravano converted Tatun Milazzo’s volley for a 2-0 lead. <\/p>\n

Minami Tanaka scored a header from Lacasse’s cross, returning the lead to two points in the 65th minute.<\/p>\n
The four goals are Utah’s most on the road.<\/p>\n
North Carolina State (6-6-3) has lost three straight games, going 9-1 in that span.<\/p>\n
Boston gets excited with Traore’s goal<\/h2>\n
In the game in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, Aissata Traore scored in the 18th minute and Legacy (5-8-4) recorded its third shutout of the season against shorthanded Kansas City. <\/p>\n
Casey Murphy made four saves and kept his third clean sheet of the season.<\/p>\n
Ella Stevens drew a red card in stoppage time for assaulting current defender Kayla Sharples.<\/p>\n
Current (8-7-1) was without Temwa Chawinga, who was on international duty, and Michelle Cooper with a thigh injury.<\/p>\n
All seven of Kansas City’s losses have come on the road, and the team remains winless without two-time MVP Chawinga (0-4-1).<\/p>\n
