Thorns FC forward Caitlin Foord has been in form with Sydney FC nearly all season long in Australia's Westfield W-League. On loan there during the Thorns' offseason, Foord closed out a regular season campaign that saw her score 10 goals in 13 matches and has now helped her team to the eve of Friday's W-League Grand Final championship against Perth Glory (9:30pm PT).
While she and her teammates prepare, we reached out to hear a bit about her season, her mental and physical challenges in coming back from a foot injury that knocked her out of last year's W-League semifinal, what it was like going up against Thorns FC teammates in the playoffs and what she's looking forward to in returning to Portland this spring.
