The Portland Thorns announced the signing of former University of Oregon forward Marissa Everett to a National Team Replacement contract ahead of this weekend’s game at Sky Blue. Everett will be immediately available for selection, though it’s unclear if she traveled with the team to New Jersey. Everett was assigned number 40 in preseason with the team and seems likely to keep the number.
Everett played a game in preseason for the Thorns against the US U23 youth national team, playing as a number 10 alongside a few other bench players and non-roster invitees. She showed a few flashes there and even got a header away off target from a Madison Pogarch cross.
