The Thorns played their last group stage match of the NWSL Challenge Cup against OL Reign, who had shut out the Thorns in their previous three meetings in the Cascadia Derby. It was a bit of a must-win for both teams because a loss might mean taking on the North Carolina Courage in the first knockout-round match.
