The North Carolina Courage look to stay close to a playoff spot in the National Women’s Soccer League when they host the Utah Royals on Saturday night.

However, the club has not been doing itself any favors. Thanks to a 2-0 loss to the top-seeded Kansas City Current last weekend, North Carolina has gone winless in five consecutive NWSL contests, going 0-2-3 over that span.
