Midfielder Kiki Pickett collected a pass from defender Joelle Anderson with one touch, then with the next step sent a shot into the upper right corner in the 33rd minute. The score was her second score of the season, with both being assisted by Anderson. A stellar defensive showing saw out the match, with no shots being allowed by the Courage from the 38th minute until the 83rd. Pickett’s goal held as the winner and earned Bay FC the first road three points of the season.
