A little bit of luck can go a long way for the Angel City Football Club and Sunday, it was enough to earn a much-needed win. In the 77th minute, Elizabeth Eddy, who just recently joined the team as a National Team Replacement Player, beat her defender on the right, then whipped a cross that went into the goal off of North Carolina defender Kaleigh Kurtz. “I had a great pass, I was going to enter into a 1-v-1 duel and she overstepped,” Eddy said. “I got a shot off before the center back slid. It wasn’t even on target, but you know in soccer if you hit a ball hard across the center of the goal, sometimes it goes in. We’ll take it.”

No matter how it looked or developed, the game goes into the record book as a 2-1 victory for Angel City FC (4-6-5, 17 points) in front of 17,876 at BMO Stadium. This was the last league game for Angel City until Aug. 19. The club will be off until a July 29 NWSL Challenge Cup match against the Portland Thorns. “We knew coming into the game that this game needed to be three points,” Angel City midfielder Savannah McCaskill said. “We should have three points the last two games, if we’re being honest, a couple of draws … a point away at Gotham was good, but we should have gotten three points out of the Houston game, so going into this game, we knew three points was the job.
