On the eve of Saturday's 2017 NWSL Playoff Semifinal against the Chicago Red Stars, presented by Tillamook Yogurt (12:20pm, Lifetime, TICKETS), we sit down with Thorns FC forward Ashleigh Sykes to learn about home support at Providence Park, her twin sister and more.
Portland Thorns FC forward Ashleigh Sykes says the support the home fans give the team is surreal.
