Coming off a disappointing week, the Thorns entertained at home. The 4-0 rout of the Royals moved Portland up the standings by one position after the other contenders all won their matches. Our big winner was Constant Weeder with 10 of the possible 25 points, including the most rec’d fun prediction of the Riveters invoking magic to lift the curse of recent bad form.
We have a Sunday night matchup with the Houston Dash next. Proven to be a beatable team on the road, the 2018 Dash have held their own against the Thorns dating back to the preseason tournament (2 draws, one loss).
