The Portland Thorns FC Academy teams packed up and hit the road for its first away matches of the 2017-18 season with a visit to Ogden, Utah, to take on La Roca Futbol Club on Nov. 4. The Thorns U-19s and U-14s each earned their first road results.
Midfielder Peyton Fendrich scored her first goal of the season to help the Thorns U-19s (2-2-2, 8pts) record a comeback, 1-1 draw against La Roca. The home side found the opening goal in the 21st minute, but the Thorns responded quickly with the equalizer just three minutes later.
