The Portland Thorns take on their neighbors to the north this even as they travel to take on the Seattle Reign. The Thorns are still struggling to get out of their recent skid, having gone the last three matches without a win. As of 5:50 the Western New York Flash are up 2-0, all but guaranteeing the Thorns an away match next Saturday, so this game will likely determine if the Thorns face Sky Blue FC or FC Kansas City.
