PORTLAND, Ore. – Two weeks, time with her national team, and a week spent recovering from a calf injury couldn’t derail the Lindsey Horan we last saw in Chicago.
Then, against the Red Stars, her early goal and second half pressure that forced a penalty ignited Portland Thorns FC to their first victory of the season. On Sunday, Horan was at the same level, equalizing the Orlando Pride’s opening goal before setting up her team’s game-winner.
For the third time this year, Horan was among the best players on the field. And for the third time this year, the Thorns star gave every indication she’s ready to take her game to yet another level, leading the Portland Thorns to a 2-1 victory in their first home match of the season.
