Our Thorns waited out a weather delay and then delivered a tidy 2-1 win on the road to assume first place in the table. The scorers for Portland were Tyler Lussi with a golaxian strike from 22 yards, and then a sweet finish by Midge Purce from point blank.

Four of our players predicted the exact scoreline and a Purce goal – a new record for prescience! That’s nine of a possible 20 points. Two others had the win, but not the Houston goal – an entirely reasonable guess.
