The Portland Thorns (fourth place, 15 points, 4-4-3) take on the North Carolina Courage (fifth place, 15 points, 3-3-6) tonight at 5:00 at Toyota Park in Chicago hoping to bounce back after a dispiriting loss to the North Carolina Courage. Hayley Raso is in line to get her first Thorns minutes of 2018 and Emily Sonnett is probable to return. Meanwhile Tobin Heath and Midge Purce have been ruled out, and AD Franch traveled with the team but is not ready to return yet. This will be the first game broadcast on the NWSL’s new ESPNEWS deal.
