North Carolina Courage are the 2023 NWSL Challenge Cup champions. It's their second consecutive title after winning the tournament in 2022, and their seventh NWSL title in seven years. The Courage defeated Racing Louisville FC 2-0 in the 2023 final on Saturday in dominating fashion. After a lengthy weather delay at the 11-minute mark, the Courage dominated large stretches of the match as the game resumed.  Despite some brief moments of transition by Racing, the Louisville side was unable to look threatening in front of goal and exits the tournament as runners-up in their first-ever NWSL title game. North Carolina Courage were active throughout the entire game, outshooting Louisville 12-6 in total. The goals came from Kerolin in the 28th minute after she spent the first half hour terrorizing Louisville's back line, and then Manaka Matsukubo provided a brilliant finish in the 54th minute and secured the silverware.
