Two teams fighting for playoff position left each other in roughly the same position as they started in at Providence Park in a wild game that saw the Red Stars shoot to a two goal lead on opposite sides of halftime courtesy of Sam Kerr only for the Thorns to peg them back late in the game to salvage a point.
The Thorns started what has become their first choice lineup in recent weeks, featuring their backline of Meghan Klingenberg, Emily Sonnett, Emily Menges and Ellie Carpenter, the midfield of Celeste Boureille, Lindsay Horan and Christine Sinclair and Tobin Heath, Hayley Raso and Ana-Maria Crnogorcevic as forwards.
