Thorns midfielder Olivia Moultrie became the youngest goalscorer in NWSL history when she found the back of the net for the first time in her career during Portland’s 4–0 victory over Houston on Sunday night.
The 16-year-old slotted home the historic goal following a crushing mistake by the Dash defense. Thorns forward Sophia Smith stole the ball and centered it to Moultrie, who snuck it past Houston goalkeeper Jane Campbell.
Moultrie added an assist in the 82nd minute, repaying Smith for the earlier pass. Smith scored twice in Portland’s dominant win.
Sunday wasn’t the first time that Moultrie had made history during her time in the NWSL.
