The Portland Thorns returned home to take on Racing Louisville on Sept. 21. They started off relatively well matched but took off early in the second half with Sophia Smith and Sam Coffey netting two goals in two minutes. Moultrie added a third as well to cap off the night.
Becky Sauerbrunn made her 150th regular season start and Crystal Dunn made her return to Providence Park.
Recap
The lineup for the Thorns was pretty usual, however, Christine Sinclair started on the bench and Olivia Moultrie took her starting spot.
