Portland Thorns beat Seattle Reign 2-1 to advance to NWSL title game

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Tobin Heath and Lindsey Horan scored and the Portland Thorns advanced to the National Women's Soccer League championship game with a 2-1 semifinal victory over the Seattle Reign on Saturday.

The defending NWSL champion Thorns (13-6-6) will play the winner of the other semifinal between the Chicago Red Stars and the North Carolina Courage for the title next Saturday at Portland's Providence Park.

The semifinal between the Courage (17-1-6) and Red Stars (9-5-10) was originally set for Sunday in Cary, but the game was moved to Tuesday night in Portland because of Hurricane Florence.
