Today, the Portland Thorns will travel across the country to take on the Western NY Flash. While it is not only a long flight, but a long flight to the middle of nowhere, at the very least it will be made with Amandine Henry, who looks to make her first contribution to the team. I'm crossing my fingers that the unbeaten streak can be kept alive.
Match Preview:
The Flash are riding a three-game winning streak, most recently earning a 1-0 win over the Orlando Pride. An early goal for Western New York was enough to decide the contest as the Flash briefly took possession of first place in the NWSL ahead of the Chicago, Portland match up.
