It was a hard weekend for the Thorns, who lost 2-1 to the Orlando Pride on Saturday. The loss marked both the first-ever loss to Orlando and the first time the Thorns had lost two in a row at home since 2014. In more auspicious news, Saturday was also Emily Menges’s first game in 2018. Check out some of the Stumptown Footy photography staff’s work from the day below:
