The NWSL serves up one of its fiercest rivalries as Seattle Reign FC (7-4-3, 24 points, 5th) make the trip to Providence Park for a season-closing regular-season clash with Portland Thorns FC (6-4-4, 22 points, 6th) on Sunday. With just two points separating them, there's more than bragging rights on the line.
For Portland, a home victory could give them a vital lift in the standings. The Thorns were flying before the break but stumbled on their return, falling 2-1 to Washington last weekend.
Despite Olivia Moultrie leveling the score before halftime, a lapse in focus late on allowed Trinity Rodman to snatch the winner. It was Portland's fourth loss of the year — and their third by a single-goal margin — leaving them hungry to set things right in front of their fans. Seattle, meanwhile, picked up right where they left off, dispatching Angel City 2-0 to notch back-to-back wins.

For the Thorns, Sam Coffey remains the heartbeat of the team. The captain has been ever-present this season, balancing defensive steel — 22 tackles and 13 interceptions — with attacking contributions, tallying one goal and three assists. Rising star Moultrie, who has featured in all 14 matches, continues to impress with her composure and creativity in midfield.

Jess Fishlock proved the difference-maker yet again for Seattle, breaking the deadlock before combining with Sofia Huerta to force an own goal that sealed the points.
