PORTLAND, Ore. – Kelly Trione was in Chicago when she found out about the doubleheader of the Portland Timbers taking on the Chicago Fire (3pm PT, FOX 12 Oregon) and Portland Thorns FC battling the Chicago Red Stars (5:15pm PT, NWSLsoccer.com) on Saturday all at Toyota Park.
She’s lived in Portland for about a year-and-a-half and was between jobs when the 2018 NWSL regular-season schedule was revealed. She’d taken a trip back to the Windy City, where she’d lived the two years prior, as a way to catch up with some of her favorite things: friends and snow.
