She picked up a minor hip injury against Chicago Stars. Team opted to give her another week to rest, but likely to return next week.
Expect Reyna Reyes or Marie Müller to start.
*Only change to availabilitySep 18 Open postExpected Own Goals @xowngoals.comBlueskySince the Thorns went 2-0 ahead in the 28th minute:
Orlando: .31 xG on 6 shots
Portland: 0 xG on 0 shots
Kind of a mixed bag (conceding lots of bad shots) but if the 2nd half looks like the last 17+ minutes of the 1st half, Portland might be adding to this dubious record.Sep 19 Open postJeff Kassouf @jeffkassouf.bsky.socialBlueskyOrlando v Portland on tap to start the #NWSL Saturday slate.

Orlando Pride inexplicably giving Soph acres of space in front of goal...Sep 19 Open postBrendan Devine @brendan-devine.bsky.socialBlueskyIt's halftime in Orlando and watching this game I am struck by how similar @racingloufc.com and @thornsfc.com styles feel. The one big difference: Portland is able to string passes together and maintain possession for longer periods of time. Racing's struggles passing the ball need to be addressedSep 19 Open post
