The Portland Thorns (fifth place, 16 points, 4-4-4) take on the Houston Dash (seventh place, 14 points, 3-4-5) tonight at 5:30 at BBVA Compass Stadium. Emily Sonnett and AD Franch are both available for the Thorns, while Midge Purce is still out and Tobin Heath is listed as questionable. The Thorns are coming off a 1-1 draw in Chicago, a game that played out in what’s become a familiar pattern as Portland went down in the first half on a penalty, then came back to draw after a Lindsey Horan goal. Houston, meanwhile, is coming off an extra week of rest, as they had a bye week following the international break.
