Wilson strikes again as Thorns grind out win

Sophia Wilson's clinical 44th-minute finish was all Portland needed to see off the Denver Summit 1-0 on Saturday night, as AP reports.

It was Wilson's 10th goal of the campaign - the fourth time in her NWSL career she has hit double figures - after Jessie Fleming threaded a pass into her path just before half-time.

Arnold stands firm at the back

Goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold was rarely troubled but made three saves to collect her eighth clean sheet of the season. It was Portland's first shutout in seven outings, pushing their record to 11-6-4.

The Thorns also paid tribute to former star Tobin Heath in a pre-match ceremony.

Summit struggle without Heaps

Denver, missing midfielder Lindsey Heaps through a knee injury, lacked creativity and now sit at 6-8-6 for the season.

Around the NWSL

Elsewhere, Ashley Sanchez bagged a brace - including a stoppage-time penalty - as the North Carolina Courage edged the Boston Legacy 2-1. The Kansas City Current and Seattle Reign played out a 1-1 draw.
