MATCH DAY PREVIEWSunday’s match marks the second meeting between Thorns FC and the Chi-cago Red Stars in the past three weeks of the inaugural NWSL season. Thorns FC scored twice in the final 20 minutes en route to a 2-0 shutout win against Chicago on April 27 at Benedictine Sports Complex. Second-half sub Danielle Foxhoven recorded the go-ahead goal for Thorns FC in the 70th minute and forward Christine Sinclair tacked on an insurance goal in the 81st minute. In their last match, Thorns FC received goals in each half as goalkeeper Karina LeBlanc made a season-high six saves in a 2-1 road win at the Washington Spirit on May 4 at Maryland SoccerPlex.

The Red Stars are playing their second match in the last five days after a come-from-behind, 1-1 road draw against Sky Blue FC on Wednesday at Yurcak Field in Piscataway Township, N.J.

SCORING DIVERSITYThorns FC finished Week 4 of the NWSL regular season with a league-high seven goals through four games. Showcasing the club’s attacking versatility and depth, five players have accounted for the team’s seven goals - including two apiece from forwards Christine Sinclair and Alex Morgan. Forwards have tallied five of the teams seven goals (71.4 percent), while midfielders and defenders have tallied one goal each (28.6 percent combined).

SINCLAIR NAMED PLAYER OF THE MONTHThorns FC forward Christine Sinclair was recently named the National Wom-en’s Soccer League (NWSL) Player of the Month for April. Sinclair earned at least a point in three straight games during the month of April, helping guide Thorns FC to an undefeated 2-0-1 record during the opening month of the inaugural 2013 NWSL season. The Canadian international recorded the first goal in Thorns FC history, converting a game-tying penalty kick on April 13 in a 1-1 draw against FC Kansas City in the league’s inaugural match. A former standout at the University of Portland, Sinclair assisted on forward Alex Morgan’s goal in a 2-1 win against Seattle Reign FC on April 21 in Portland’s home opener, becoming the first player in league history to register both a goal and an assist during the season. Sinclair then scored her second goal of the season in the team’s next game, a 2-0 road win against the Chicago Red Stars on April 27.

STREAKING FORWARDThorns FC forward Alex Morgan has recorded at least a point in three straight games. The U.S. Women’s National Team standout tallied a goal on April 21 against Seattle Reign FC at JELD-WEN Field in Portland’s home opener, followed by an assist on forward Christine Sinclair’s insurance goal on April 27 in a 2-0 win against Chicago. On May 4, Morgan converted a 12th-minute penalty kick in a 2-1 win against the Washington Spirit. Morgan and Sinclair (April 13-27) are tied for the team’s longest scoring streak so far this season.

PORTLAND THORNS FC AT CHICAGO RED STARSSUNDAY, MAY 12, 2013

CATEGORICAL WON-LOST-TIED HEAD COACH CINDY PARLOW CONEA U.S. Women’s National Team veteran and two-time Olympic gold medalist, Cindy Parlow Cone leads Portland Thorns FC into their inaugural National Women’s Soccer League season in 2013. She was appointed the first head coach in the club’s his-tory on Dec. 19, 2012.

One of the all-time leading goal scorers in U.S. Women’s National Team history, Cone’s playing career included a nine-year stint with the national team, a championship in the 1999 FIFA Women’s World Cup and gold medals at the 1996 and 2004 Olympic Games. She is the youngest player ever to win both an Olympic gold medal and a World Cup title. Due to post-concussion syndrome, she retired from the national team in 2004 with 75 goals and 35 assists in 158 appearances.

A native of Memphis, Tenn., Cone, 34, spent the last six years as the assistant coach for her alma mater, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from 2007-12. She helped guide the team to national championship-winning seasons in 2008, 2009 and 2012.

In addition to coaching at UNC, Cindy also served as the director of coaching for senior girls programs (U-15 to U-18) at Triangle United Soccer Association in Chapel Hill, N.C., and has been a member of the U.S. U-14 and U-15 Girls National Team coaching staffs since 2010. She holds a USSF “A” License and was the only female coach to participate in the FIFA Futuro III course.

Cone, a forward, began her international career with the U.S. Women’s National Team in 1996, scoring twice in her debut and contributing to an 8-1 win over Russia on Jan.14, 1996. She was named the U.S. Soccer Young Female Athlete of the Year in 1998 and was a starting forward on the highly recognized United States squad for the 1999 Women’s World Cup, scoring two goals in the tournament. The 1999 U.S. Women’s National Team was named Sports Illustrated’s 1999 Athlete of the Year.

Additionally, Cone helped the U.S. Women’s National Team to a third-place finish in the 2003 FIFA Women’s World Cup, playing in the semifinal match against Germany held at JELD-WEN Field (then PGE Park), and a silver medal in the 2000 Sydney Olympics. She, along with the other members of the 1996 Olympic team, was inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame in 2004.

Cone played in Women’s United Soccer Association (WUSA) for three seasons with the Atlanta Beat from 2001-03, leading the team to the postseason each season.

At North Carolina, Cone recorded 68 goals and 53 assists during her collegiate career from 1995-98, and is one of 10 players in the program’s history to record 40 or more goals and assists in a career. She was a four-time All-American, won the Hermann Trophy in 1997 and 1998 as the nation’s top player, was an four-time Academic All-American, and led the Tar Heels to back-to-back national titles in 1996 and 1997.

SHIM, AVANT MAKE NWSL DEBUTSTwo Thorns FC players made their NWSL debuts in a 2-1 win against the Washington Spirit on May 4 at Maryland SoccerPlex. Midfielder Meleana Shim made her professional debut, as well as her NWSL debut, starting and playing 89 minutes for Portland. Defender Jazmyne Avant, who played 10 games for the New York Fury of WPSL Elite last season, earned her first career NWSL appear-ance entering the match as a 64th-minute substitute for injured defender Nikki Marshall. Shim’s inclusion in the starting XI marked the first time this season Thorns FC have swapped a new player into the starting lineup after head coach Cindy Parlow Cone utilized the same starting XI in the first three matches of the season.

AMONG THE LEAGUE LEADERSHeading into this weekend’s matches, Thorns FC forward Alex Morgan is the league leader in shots on goal (9) and is tied for first with Chicago’s Lori Chalupny in shots (14). Forward Christine Sinclair ranks fourth in shots (10) and is tied for fourth with five shots on goal. Midfielder Allie Long is tied for the league lead in fouls committed (11) alongside Chalupny. In goalkeeping statis-tics, Thorns FC goalkeeper Karina LeBlanc leads the league with three wins and is tied for second with one shutout. LeBlanc’s 0.75 goals-against average is the second lowest in the league, trailing only U.S. Women’s National Team goalkeeper Nicole Barnhart (FC Kansas City), who has an 0.33 goals-against average. Portland ranks fourth overall among NWSL teams in shots (42) and tied for third with 24 shots on goal.


SCOUTING THE RED STARSEstablished in 2007, the Chicago Red Stars competed in Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS) from 2009-10 and moved to Women’s Premier Soccer League (WPSL) for the 2011 season. Under the direction of head coach, and Chicago native, Rory Dames, Chicago finished the 2011 WPSL season with a 10-1 record and moved up to the WPSL Elite division for the 2012 season. The Red Stars advanced to the league’s championship game, but lost on penalty kicks to the Western New York Flash.

Dames is at the helm for Chicago for the inaugural NWSL season. The Red Stars (0-2-2, 2pts) have faced a tough start to the season and are still searching for their first win of the year. On Wednesday, Chicago received a late equalizer from midfielder Alyssa Mautz in the second-minute of second-half stoppage time in a 1-1 road draw against Sky Blue FC. Mautz converted a corner kick that was allowed to bounce dangerously in the box as Chicago grabbed a share of the points. Led by midfielder Lori Chalupny (1g, 1a), who enters the weekend with a share of the league lead with 14 shots, the Red Stars must cope with losing U.S. Women’s National Team midfielder Shannon Boxx for 4-6 weeks due to arthroscopic knee surgery on April 30.
