On the quest for their first regular season win in more than three years against their rivals, Portland Thorns received OL Reign in Providence Park on Friday night. In a game marked by solid defensively play and missed opportunities, the longtime foes fought to a scoreless draw.
It was the second regular season game for the Rose City team after last week’s match against the North Carolina Courage was rescheduled for August.
The home team showed some depth on the bench, with Rocky Rodríguez, Becky Sauerbrunn, and Janine Beckie all available to jump in at the coach’s command.
