A host of Thorns FC players were in action yesterday at both the SheBelieves Cup in Pennsylvania and the Algarve Cup in Portgual.
In the U.S. WNT's opening game against Germany, Thorns Allie Long and Tobin Heath both started and played the full 90 minutes while Lindsey Horan came on in the 79th minute as the Americans won 1-0. Heath had a hand in the goal as her initial shot deflected off a German defender before settling for Lynn Williams who fired it home. Long received postgame plaudits as she was named the Woman of the Match.
