When Portland Thorns FC head coach Mark Parsons says things like Saturday’s draw was, “our first point in Carolina in three years” – as he did after this weekend’s result – he’s speaking to an expectation, one that’s been built over multiple seasons of trying to break through against the North Carolina Courage. When thinking about where his team can get points over the course of a season, Parsons has to see the annual trip to Cary in terms of history. It would be nice to get a point at Sahlen’s Stadium, but realistically, the Thorns might leave WakeMed Soccer Park with zero.
