On Friday night, just before the clock struck midnight here on the East Coast, Portland Thorns FC topped Seattle Reign FC 3-1 in the last match with playoff implications of the 2018 NWSL regular season. With the win, Portland earned a home playoff game next weekend against Seattle, and they ensured that the North Carolina Courage would be hosting the Chicago Red Stars in the second semifinal match. The Courage still have one game left to play to close out the regular season, and while the game lacks playoff importance, it could be historic as North Carolina has a chance at breaking a number of league records.
