The Thorns visited Seattle and suffered a 1-0 loss on a late goal by Jodie Taylor. Despite the result, it was an epic day for the Riveters.
More than four-hundred Portland fans attended the match at Memorial Stadium, the most we’ve ever mustered for an away game. There were three busses of Riveters who attended the Timbers and Thorns doubleheader, another bus for only the Thorns match, a large contingent of folks who traveled on their own, plus a fair number of TACO (Timbers Army Covert Operations) members who support Portland while enduring life in Seattle.
The bus ride up featured a pickup match between the “green shirts” and “not-green shirts” at the Scatter Creek rest area, won by the “not-green” team 7-6.
