PORTLAND, Ore. — Jess McDonald scored two goals and the North Carolina Courage won the National Women’s Soccer League championship with a 3-0 victory over the Portland Thorns on Saturday.

The victory was a bit of revenge for the Courage, which lost by 1-0 to the Thorns in last year’s title match.

The Courage (17-1-6) had the league’s best record and did not lose on the road. The team also set N.W.S.L. records this season for the most wins, points and goals. North Carolina won all three meetings during the regular season.

The match was played before a capacity crowd of 21,144 at Providence Park. That was a record for a women’s professional league final in the United States.
