The Portland Thorns haven’t played in almost two weeks but that doesn’t mean there weren’t Thorns in action. The college soccer season is heating up and future Thorns Amirah Ali and Sam Coffey have both played three matches since we last checked in on them.
Ali and Rutgers took part in three matches with sizeable score lines. The Scarlet Knights scored three goals in each half against Monmouth to win 6-0. Ali only played 44 minutes. On Sep. 5, Ali and Rutgers beat La Salle 5-0. Ali scored her second goal of the season with an exquisite strike.
