“Bianca is a great addition to our club," North Carolina coach Sean Nahas said in a statement. "From my very first conversation with her, I heard someone who has a great perspective, work ethic, growth mindset, and someone who truly wants to be pushed and challenged to be better every day.
"She’s a very dynamic player and someone who will provide good balance for our roster as someone who can be a threat for us in various ways."
St. Georges, who played her collegiate soccer at West Virginia, has won nine caps for Canada. She joins fellow Canadians Sydney Collins and Victoria Pickett on the Courage roster.
