Thorns Knocked Off At Home

 At Providence Park, Portland, Oregon:


Tara Rudd (PK-59') and Melissa Bethi (80') each scored once as the Washington Spirit handed the Portland Thorns their first home defeat of the season 2-1 in Sunday NWSL action.  It was the first victory in Portland for the Spirit.


Sophia Wilson scored for the Thorns in the 18th penalty via a successful penalty kick.


The Thorns will try to get their act back together this coming Sunday at home against the hapless Chicago Stars at 4:00 PM on Roku.
