Fresh off of a big home win, the Portland Thorns hit the road once again to travel down to San Diego to current league leaders. The Thorns (2-1-3, 9 points) will square off against San Diego Wave FC (4-2-1, 13 points) in the third ever matchup between the two sides, and the first in the regular season.
In the still young NWSL season, Wave FC are a somewhat surprising name to see at the top of the table. After an inconsistent Challenge Cup, Casey Stoney’s side exploded into the regular season to the tune of three straight wins to open the year.
