Monaghan’s second goal of the season came following Utah’s 10th corner kick of the match. She has scored in back-to-back matches.
It was Shaw’s third goal of the season and her second in three matches. The penalty kick came when Utah’s Kaleigh Riehl was called for a foul in the penalty area. She also was assessed a yellow card.
Utah held a 23-14 edge in shot attempts. North Carolina had only one corner kick.
Play was suspended for about 40 minutes late in the first half because of lightning.
