Courage Dominate San Diego 4-1, Spoil Alex Morgan's Farewell

In a historic NWSL matchup, the North Carolina Courage triumphed 4-1 over San Diego Wave FC, improving their record to 10-1-8.

The Courage took an early lead through a Haley Hopkins header and, despite a quick response from San Diego, regained control with two more goals before halftime.

Malia Berkely assisted on three of the four goals, tying a league record. San Diego played the final half-hour down a player after their goalkeeper was sent off, and Meredith Speck added a final goal in stoppage time.

The match also served as a farewell to Alex Morgan, who retired from professional soccer. The Courage will next face Bay FC this Friday in Cary, North Carolina.

Election Countdown: Why Thousands of Absentee Ballots Are Delayed in North Carolina

A delay has affected the distribution of absentee ballots in North Carolina after a state appeals court judge approved Robert F. Kennedy Jr's request to be removed from the general election ballot.

The North Carolina State Board of Elections has directed local counties to stop printing and sending ballots until further notice. With more than 136,000 absentee ballot requests already submitted, including around 12,700 from military and overseas voters, the Board is urging the State Supreme Court to issue a quick decision.

This would avoid the need for counties to reprint ballots, which could result in additional expenses. The Board remains focused on ensuring an organized and timely voting process as the election approaches. Read Full Report

Cary Man Arrested for Bringing Gun Onto N.C. State Campus

In the early hours of Monday morning, Zachary Olson, a 24-year-old Cary resident, was arrested for carrying a gun onto N.C. State University’s campus.

Police were alerted to Olson’s presence after reports of a man waving a firearm near Hillsborough Street. N.C. State University Police quickly located Olson on Dan Allen Drive and detained him, recovering a handgun.

Olson has been charged with carrying a concealed weapon and bringing a firearm onto educational property. Olson was an intern at the Wake County District Attorney’s Office, but his internship was terminated after the incident.

Officials confirmed that Olson has no known connection to N.C. State. Olson posted a $3,000 bond and is scheduled for his court appearance later today. Read Full Report.

The Answer to the Cary Spotlight Hook Trivia Question 👇👇👇

Shrimp, intriguing creatures of the aquatic world, have their hearts located in their heads. This unusual anatomical feature is part of the shrimp's compact body design, where major organs are condensed within the cephalothorax—the part of the body that combines the head and thorax.

This arrangement facilitates effective circulation of blood, essential for the shrimp's survival and functioning in its underwater environment. This characteristic is shared by other crustaceans, highlighting the diverse and fascinating adaptations in marine life.

For more information about the anatomy of shrimp and other crustaceans, you can explore the Smithsonian's Ocean Portal, which offers insights into various marine species: Smithsonian Ocean Portal.
