PREGAME:
The Thorns are coming off a 1-1 draw with the Chicago Red Stars last week, while the Dash last played on June 3 when they drew the North Carolina Courage 1-1. At the midway point of the NWSL season, Portland sits in fifth place in the standings, just outside the playoff picture.
Thorns star midfielder Lindsey Horan will be suspended for Friday's game due to yellow card accumulation after picking up a yellow card against the Red Stars last week. Horan, who has five goals this season, has been one of Portland's best players this year.
