After standing up well to a tough, aggressive North Carolina side, OL Reign head down I-5 for a match against the Portland Thorns. The game kicks off Sunday at 3 PM PT and will air on CBS Sports Network.
After winning the preseason Challenge Cup on penalties, the Thorns continue to look like the team to beat this season. The constantly improving Reign enter the match with 1 point from a draw against North Carolina, which was one of their strongest team performances to date. The Thorns enter with 3 after dismantling the Chicago Red Stars, 5-0.
