The Lion’s Pitch Podcast is your go-to source for insightful, weekly coverage of the NC Courage, hosted by Katie and Trevor.

In this week’s episode:

• Look Back – Special guest Aaron Rogoff joins the show for a deeper tactical dive into the Courage’s first win of the season — a 3–2 stunner over league-leading KC Current. We break down the comeback, late heroics from defenders Kaleigh Kurtz and Ryan Williams, and what Ashley Sanchez’s goal means for the attack.
• Standout Stats – The numbers behind the win tell a story of grit and precision. We dig into the data that defined this game.
• Looking Ahead – With momentum finally on their side, can the Courage replicate this kind of performance against the Utah Royals? Or do we risk falling back into old patterns? Aaron helps us assess the matchup.
• Courage News – A big off-the-field win: Lauren and Jrue Holiday invest in the Courage. We unpack what that means for the club’s future.
• Around the League – The NWSL has officially submitted an application to launch a Division 2 league. We break down what this could mean for the women’s game in the U.S.
