Portland Thorns FC Draw with Chicago 0-0
The Portland Thorns FC earned a point in their 0-0 draw with the Chicago Red Stars on Wednesday.
Portland led in almost every statistical category, including shots (16 to 5), shots on target (three to zero), and corners (seven to three).
Unfortunately, the Thorns (0-1-1) just couldn’t find the back of the net.
Former Washington State Cougar Morgan Weaver nearly scored her first career National Women’s Soccer League goal.
