The Thorns have had something of a breakout season, especially for a team in a rebuilding year and one not used to being underdogs.

After the year the Thorns have had, this one stings.

It’s the biggest night of the week in many high schools across the country. Here, it feels more like a subdued social gathering.

The 2025 Portland Thorns are nothing if not relentless.

If this year’s Portland squad has made one thing clear, it’s that almost no barrier is insurmountable. Expectations weren’t high—for those of us outside the locker room, at least.
